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
