Accident and Emergency Hospital Episode Statistics (HES)

Have you ever wondered...

  • How many people attend A&E departments in England?
  • Which age group has the highest number of A&E attendances?
  • Which day of the week has the highest number of A&E attendances?

The Accident and Emergency data held in Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) is taken from the national data warehouse, Secondary Uses Service (SUS). SUS consists of data submitted by NHS providers in England via their local Patient Administration Systems (PAS).
