<p>All eligible acute trusts with a type 1 accident and emergency (A&E) Department
have front-door primary clinical streaming services in place. Clinical streaming triages

day emergency care services, mental health services and urgent treatment centres.</p><p>

ringfenced capital funding for up to 100 new triage projects at English hospitals
to support the delivery of primary care streaming in all A&Es by October 2017,
as a component of improving performance against the operational standard of at least,
95% of patients attending A&E to be admitted, transferred or discharged within
four hours.</p>
