WTF? It says my nearest hospital is New Cross Hospital! Stafford Hospital and Cannock Hospital don't seem to exist at all... =/
Mine says New cross Hospital nearest as well, followed by alternatives of Manor Hospital , Royal Stoke and Sandwell. Again Stafford and Cannock don't seem to exist at all.

What poor and misleading information from that website. If stafford is your nearest hospital and you need a&e between 8-10 surely it should be listed. Why would someone needing care on their own door step chose to travel 40mins and wait in a hospital with the longest waiting times in the country. Bloody ridculous.

that site should be amended so stafford appears at least in the times it operates.

Being North of the river, it gave me Stoke, at the very bottom of the ratings..

I see Stoke are still bottom...by a fair amount too at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-25055444 :

As you may have read/seen more Services were removed from Stafford over the weekend so what we have now is less A&E and more than a walk in centre (but hey it'll double in size). The Shugborough Ward was expected to close in March but now looks to have been put back until May - We must continue to fight for it and for the Services removed to be returned.

There is currently a Petition on the Stafford Borough Council site asking for a Referendum on the removal of Services. I would urge all those in the Stafford BC area to sign it and share it - Referendum on Transfer of Services from Stafford Hospital
