Columns read left to right as patient flow: front door → corridor → beds → back door. Only the three like-for-like measures are shaded. Hover a shaded cell for its rank. Click a heading to sort.

Notes. Size bands are tertiles of average daily General & Acute (G&A) beds open overnight, Q4 2025-26 (NHS England KH03), computed over ranked acute trusts: Large ≥1,000, Medium ~600–999, Small <600. Corridor and delayed-discharge rates are shaded by rank within size band (dark red = highest). Occupancy is shaded by absolute threshold; 92% is the widely cited safe-occupancy ceiling. Pressure flags: one each for corridor rate in the band's worst third, delayed-discharge rate in the band's worst third, and occupancy above 95%. * = Q4 bed data not reported; band estimated from A&E attendances (bed cells n/r). † = children's/specialist trust, shown for completeness but excluded from rankings, shading and flags. Corridor patients and delayed discharges are daily averages for May 2026; A&E attendances are Type 1. Bed-based rates pair Q4 2025-26 beds with May 2026 activity — treat as indicative. This table is a guide to which factors may accompany high corridor care; it does not establish correlation or causation.
