<p>Sustainability and Transformation Plan proposals are currently at a draft stage,
but it is expected that all local leaders will be talking to the public and stakeholders
regularly as it is vital that people are able to shape the future of their local services.
No changes to the services people currently receive will be made without local engagement
and, where required, consultation. There are longstanding assurance processes in place
to make sure this happens. All footprints will submit an updated plan in October,
with further formal public engagement and consultation taking place from this point,
as appropriate. Many footprints are already publishing patient-facing summaries as
part of their engagement programme.</p>
