Use MailOnline’s ultimate NHS data tracker to see exactly how your hospital is faring.

Our postcode search tool, hailed by NHS chiefs, utilises monthly performance figures collated centrally. It covers all 120-plus NHS trusts and can be searched by entering the first half of your postcode.

It reveals the share of patients who are seen within four hours in overwhelmed A&E units, as well as how their trust compares to England’s overall average. 

Performances against three key cancer targets are also exposed, as are the backlogs for routine procedures such as hip and knee replacements.

Under the health service’s own rulebook, all patients needing treatment have the right to be seen within 18 weeks.

Ambulance response times, which are tracked regionally instead of trust-by-trust, are plotted by MailOnline’s data journalism team, too.

Sir Stephen Powis, national medical director for NHS England, commended the extraordinary level of detail packed inside for readers. He said: ‘MailOnline’s NHS Tracker is an important tool where patients in England can access data about their local hospital at the touch of a button.

‘The NHS has never been busier heading into winter. Staff are working incredibly hard to manage the current pressures with plans already in place to manage extra demand on services and through our new elective care reform plan, we will improve waiting times for patients.

‘We continue to work with the government on the 10 year health plan to make the NHS fit for the future.

‘We welcome ideas from the public, patients and staff as part of the biggest conversation about the NHS via Change.nhs.uk.’

How our NHS data-tracker works 

All the data for MailOnline’s tracker is sourced from NHS England, which publishes monthly performance statistics. 

Healthcare targets have been sourced from official NHS guidance. 

We have matched NHS trusts to postcodes based on distance, and display the trusts within a 15-mile radius for outer London and a 3-mile radius for inner London. Private providers and some community-based trusts have been excluded.

Enter only the first half of your postcode and look for the drop-down suggestions. 

When entering your postcode into the search bar, this is ordered in alphabetical order of the trusts found within your area, not necessarily your closest trust.

Given the way NHS data is stored, only ‘Type 1’ attendances, or visits to your typical A&E centre are used for the four-hour wait analysis. 

For 12-hour waits, all types of A&E are counted, including ‘Type 2’ or speciality A&E wards.

Ambulance response times are recorded by region. We have aligned each individual trust to their regional ambulance service.
