NHS Scotland is thus 13.8% faster.

Thousands more treated within target time than if they had lived in England.

Wales? Even worse.

  1. You’re comparing apples with oranges.

    Full Emergency Departments in Scotland also provide the type of less-serious walk-ins that you are excluding from the England data by only referring to the most serious admissions which have a much greater waiting time.

    Within the data you have linked it is impossible to get the comparison you claim.

    The only valid comparison that can be made is the % waiting longer than 4 hours for ALL admissions. In which Scotland saw 72.7% of people within 4 hours in July, compared to 74.0%.

    It’s interesting the actual valid comparison never makes it into your blogs, you always opt to try to mislead people instead.

    1. This Tory/new new Labour troll has just admitted that Scottish NHS treats more
      patients in the same time frame as little England with again England missing out
      certain numbers to feed positive results and obviously failing.
      This is astonishingly basic maths that unionist trolls either ignore or can’t work out.
      Another failed dismal negative from the red and blue right wing unionist nonsense parties.
      Ha Ha Ha.

        1. To add from my previous comment you can try to manipulate figures but your mathematics do not add up, I will not comment on your daft
          rejigging of numbers again, I have read this type of fudge my whole life
          and unfortunately many Scots have been taken in by it, now with online
          social media you are becoming more and more irrelevant and worthless with your anti-Scottish rantings.

      1. Dear Anon No.1
        Assuming you are the Anon who previously and correctly pointed out that I was comparing England’s Type 1 with Scotland’s A&E rather than ED data, I have been careful since then to follow your advice.
        Please check that I have done just that and get back to me.
