In Wales, bed wait data is not published, so the figure shown is the occupancy level in general and acute beds. Scotland and Northern Ireland do not publish bed wait or bed occupancy data.Data for England is show by NHS trust, where the trust includes at least one hospital with a Type 1 A&E department.
