NHS England does not publish a separate return for this unit, so there are no official figures for this site on its own. Across England in September 2026, walk-in units, urgent treatment centres and minor injuries units saw 96.4% of patients within four hours, against 60.4% at major A&E departments - which is why minor injuries are usually dealt with faster at a unit like this one.
