TWO-THIRDS of people who arrived at accident and emergency at a York hospital trust were seen within four hours in February, new figures show – missing the NHS recovery target.

NHS England figures show there were 19,273 visits to A&E at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in February. Of them, 13,278 were seen within four hours – accounting for 69 per cent of arrivals.

It means the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust fell short of the recovery target and was significantly behind the NHS standard.

A trust spokesperson apologised for the delays and said York and Scarborough hospitals experienced a high number of patients in emergency departments during February.
