Department of Health written question – answered at on 14 September 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what criteria he has set for NHS Trusts to receive support from the Emergency Care Improvement Programme.
The Emergency Care Improvement Programme (ECIP) is a clinically led programme that will offer practical help and support to the 27 urgent and emergency care systems across England that are under the most pressure.
The progress of trusts taking part in ECIP will be measured by monitoring improvements in their accident and emergency (A&E) four hour waiting time standard, along with patient outcome and experience indicators. The urgent and emergency care systems taking part in this programme were selected based on performance against the A&E four hour standard in 2014/15 and Q1 of 2015/16 alongside discussions with regional teams from NHS England, Monitor and the Trust Development Authority.
