At our local hospital non urgent cases arriving in A&E are directed to an on site GP service in the same place but I'm certain 99% of those people will say they've been treated in A&E.

I'm wondering if this is common and whether or not the waiting times for each dept. are recorded separately because the non-urgent stuff clearly has no bearing on waiting times for the actual A&E section dealing with the serious stuff.
