What we report on

You’ll find statistics about:

  • how many patients we’ve admitted to hospital
  • how many patients were seen in emergency, elective surgery, and by specialists
  • waiting times for each type of service.

We also include charts and graphs showing our performance over time.

Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs)

We use a once-off online survey to measure patient experience. We invite parents and carers, children and young people to tell us about their recent experience through an online survey after their visit to the hospital.
