MORE people went to emergency departments at NSW hospitals between July and September but the time they waited to get treatment was the same, or less, than a year ago.
The findings were recorded in the Bureau of Health Information's latest Hospital Quarterly report, released on Thursday.
According to the report, about 21,000 more patients attended NSW emergency departments during the quarter, a four per cent increase on the same period last year and 11 per cent more than the same time two years ago.
"We continue to see the trend of more patients attending emergency departments and more patients being admitted to hospital," the bureau's acting chief executive Kim Browne said.
"During this quarter the time that emergency department patients waited for treatment to begin was the same, or shorter, across all of the urgency categories compared to the same quarter in 2011."
In the period, 144,000 of the 564,970 people who attended emergency departments travelled to hospital by ambulance, six per cent more than during the same period in 2011, and 11 per cent more than two years ago.
The report shows 57 per cent of these patients were transferred into emergency department care within 30 minutes, down from the 61 per cent in 2011.
