The data was obtained through freedom of information requests to NHS acute trusts.
Patients across England waited for more than 5.4 million hours in A&E while experiencing a mental health crisis last year, Labour has claimed.
Shadow mental health minister Rosena Allin-Khan said: “These long, inappropriate waits in A&E are shocking. Patients have borne the brunt of the Conservative Government’s failure to bring down waiting lists. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: “We’re going further and faster to transform our country’s mental health services, with up to an additional £2.3 billion being invested annually until 2024 to expand services.
