<p>In 2015/16, increased resources were provided to the Emergency Care Intensive Support
Team (ECIST). This was to enable it to provide a programme of deeper support to 27
health communities in England selected on the basis of poor performance against the
national 4-hour accident and emergency standard during 2014/15 and quarter one of

care vanguards.</p><p>Since April 2016, the team has offered limited improvement support
