In 2023-24 there were 26.3 million attendances in Accident and Emergency across the whole of England (Source: MSitAE)

This is an increase of 3.8 per cent compared with 2022-23, and an increase of 22.5 per cent since 2011-12.

According to an NHS survey, 12 per cent of people admit to using A&E when they knew they didn’t need to. Doctors and nurses are asking the public to save A&E for emergencies and serious injury and illness only. 
 
A&E provides a vital service for people in Kent and we need to make sure that it is saved for serious accidents, illnesses and emergencies. You never know when you or your family will need this life saving service.
