<p>A list of accountable officers for each of the 44 sustainability and transformation
partnerships (STP) areas is available on the NHS England website at the following
link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/stps/view-stps/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/stps/view-stps/</a></p><p>
</p><p>In relation to remuneration data, NHS England do not hold this information
centrally.</p><p> </p><p>It is for each STP area to decide where they may need support
or advice from external organisations and normal value for money rules apply. However,
all partners within each STP area need to be disciplined about keeping costs as low
as possible as they work to alleviate pressures on the National Health Service, and
improve patient care.</p><p> </p><p>An example of STP accountable officers’ responsibilities
are outlined in ‘Leading a Sustainability and Transformation Partnership’, which is
attached. It includes a responsibility to engage with local communities and staff
to improve healthcare across their footprint.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>STP leaders come
from a variety of backgrounds. Currently, four STP areas are led by local government
officers.</p>
