Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department’s timescale is for the publication of data on incidences of corridor care.

The Government is committed to tackling the corridor care in our National Health Service. Our Urgent and Emergency Care Plan, published in June, set out the steps we are taking to improve accident and emergency waiting times, including the commitment to publish data on the prevalence of corridor care.

NHS England has been working with trusts to put in place new reporting arrangements related to the use of corridor care, to drive improvement. The data quality is currently being reviewed, and the information will be published shortly.
