NHS hospitals provided more care, more efficiently, while delivering improved finances in last quarter Despite the pressure of demand, the provider sector continued to improve quality and achieved one of the best financial performances in recent years.
Statistics on the performance of the NHS published today show Emergency Departments (EDs) treated or discharged 5.3 million patients within four hours of arrival between January and March — 314,594 more than last year.
6.2 million patients attended ED in the first quarter of the year, almost 362,000 more than the same time last year. The number of people requiring elective surgery increased by almost 400,000 patients.

The report also found NHS providers reduced their deficits by almost £400 million in 2018/19 compared to the previous year, helping the wider NHS to balance its books. NHS Improvement
