If you have a minor illness or injury you will always be seen quicker at an urgent treatment centre or minor injuries unit than a busy A&E.
In the last few days the average wait time from arrival to discharge in some of our A&Es was around seven hours*. In local urgent treatment centres and minor injury units, waiting times were just two hours*.
