To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of visits to (a) A&E and (b) general practice were type three attendances in (i) England, (ii) each NHS trust and (iii) each clinical commissioning Group in each of the last two years.

Information is not available in the format requested. However, the attached table provides the total number of accident and emergency attendances and the proportion of those at ‘type 3’¹ sites, for England and by provider for the period November 2015 to October 2017.
