Guernsey · Healthcare · 2013–2024
Both series exist in gov.gg’s own reports — buried in contract-KPI appendices and an annual wellbeing bulletin — and, as far as we could find, never pulled out as a standalone chart until now.
A&E: admitted or discharged within four hours, 2018–2024
Life expectancy at birth, 3-year rolling average
ED performance: States of Guernsey, Secondary Healthcare Contract KPI Report 2024 (published Apr 2025); gov.gg/secondaryhealthcare (index of all editions, 2018-2024). Life expectancy: States of Guernsey, Annual Better Life Indicators Report, 2023 and 2024 editions; States of Guernsey, Facts and Figures Booklet 2024, Figure 3.15 (p.76).
Beyond A&E
The same Secondary Healthcare Contract KPI report that supplies the A&E chart above also covers overall hospital activity, waiting times for consultant referrals and radiology, and the bed-capacity pressure from delayed discharges.
16,083 admissions
2024 inpatient admissions, +2.0% on 15,772 in 2023.
22,605 referrals
New outpatient referrals, 2024, +2.5% on 2023.
4,666 procedures
Main theatre procedures, 2024, +0.6% on 2023.
2,207 waiting
Inpatient waiting list, end of 2024 - a 21% reduction on the 2,799 waiting at end of 2023.
Medical Specialist Group (MSG) & Committee for Health & Social Care, “Secondary Healthcare Contract: 2024 Key Performance Indicators”, published April 2025 - States of Guernsey, Secondary Healthcare Contract KPI Report 2024 (published Apr 2025); gov.gg/secondaryhealthcare (index of all editions, 2018-2024). MSG is the private LLP holding the Secondary Healthcare Contract for the Bailiwick since 2018; KPIs are reported jointly with HSC across six themes. There were also 4 hospital-acquired infections in 2024 (2023: 5) from 15,888 admissions (target: 0), and formal complaints resolved within the 20-operational-day target fell to 62% (2023: 77%, target >75%) - the report links the drop to a 59% rise in formal complaints without a matching rise in resources to investigate them.
% of patients seen within the contractual waiting time, 2018–2024
Both charts: “2018-2024 Results” trend tables in the same MSG/HSC KPI report (PQ1a/PQ1c and PQ6). Consultant-referral waiting-time performance has fallen from 81.5% in 2018 to a low of 53% in 2023, recovering only partially to 62% in 2024 - a steeper decline than the A&E series above; radiology has stayed much closer to target throughout. Delayed Transfer of Care - the aggregate days per month that patients stay in hospital after being fit for discharge, because no nursing/care-home bed is available or a needs assessment is pending - has missed its <100 days/month target every year since 2018, peaking at 629 in 2022; 18 patients were in this position at the end of 2024 (2023: 14), excluding the rehabilitation ward.
For context
NHS England's own longer run on the same four-hour standard, and Jersey's published run of the same measure.
UK: NHS England, % of A&E attendances within 4 hours
From a 95.4% high (Jun 2013) to a 49.6% low (Dec 2022). These are five individually cited readings — a mix of monthly and quarterly figures at uneven intervals — so the connecting line shows direction of travel, not a monthly series.
Jersey: % of ED patients admitted or discharged within 4 hours
Same measure, same four-hour clock — arrival to departure or admission — but Jersey publishes no target for it. The measure only entered Jersey’s reporting in January 2024, monthly at first, then every two months from mid-2025; the x-axis is true to time, so unreported months show as longer segments. May 2024’s edition gave no figure. Low of 68% (Jan 2025), latest 77.9% (Apr 2026) — between Guernsey’s 89% and NHS England’s recent mid-70s.
UK: NHS England, A&E Waiting Times and Activity statistics; Nuffield Trust, QualityWatch, "A&E waiting times". Jersey: Health and Care Jersey, Quality and Performance Reports (gov.je States Reports archive, January 2024 to April 2026 editions); gov.je, hospital waiting times. Jersey values are each edition’s “% Patients in Emergency Department for less than or equal to 4 Hours” latest value; the Jan and Feb 2024 editions published the inverse (“more than 4 Hours”, 28.3% and 29.6%) and are shown as their exact complements.
