The figure was presented in a monthly report to the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s board of directors on Wednesday, November 29.
It shows that 19.7 per cent of accident and emergency attendants – or 2,063 patients – waited for more than 12 hours in October this year, a two per cent increase from September.
The trust, which runs York Hospital, is aiming to get that figure down to 7.5 per cent (150 patients), but it has only been under 10 per cent in two separate months since December 2022.
