answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2017 answer text <p>Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) are not statutory organisations, but a new way for the National Health Service and local government to work together. The individual organisations that make up the STPs remain accountable to their local communities, including for these activities performed as part of the STP. When there are proposals to substantially change services, the STP has a duty to consult with their local community. There are longstanding rules to ensure this. NHS Improvement and NHS England are providing resources and guidance to further strengthen the local accountability of STPs, as the NHS and local government work together to develop sensible, deliverable plans.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the Department and NHS England will shortly be publishing a STP dashboard and assessment of STP performance. Local communities can use this as a mechanism for holding the local NHS to account.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/06/2017 11:11:09 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2017 answer text <p>Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) are led by local clinicians in the best interests of patients. Local areas, including commissioners, providers and local authorities, have come together to decide how to improve services. No changes will occur without the normal local consultation. When any substantial service reconfiguration is proposed, STPs must deliver on the four tests of service reconfiguration, including using a clear clinical evidence base that supports the change.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 28/06/2017 16:03:26 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
