<p>Each of the organisations contained within Sussex and East Surrey’s Sustainability
and Transformation Partnership (STP), is engaging staff, patients, local residents
and stakeholder groups around their joint plans.</p><p> </p><p>The STP has decided
that their preferred approach is to develop four 'place based plans' within their
STP: Coastal Care, East Sussex Better Together and the North and South parts of the
Central Sussex and East Surrey Alliance. They are undertaking public and patient engagement
on that basis. Details of all engagement events they have held can be reviewed on
the individual partner websites.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the partners are also
establishing an STP wide patient and public engagement steering group to help shape
and improve STP-wide engagement.</p><p> </p><p>The STP Dashboard was published in
July to provide an initial baseline view of STP performance. Upon publication, Sussex
and East Surrey STP were rated in ‘Category 4- Needs Most Improvement’. NHS England
intends to update the dashboard annually to enable progress to be tracked, and outcomes
to be measured. The STP dashboard can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/11-pb-21-07-2017-stp-progress-dashboard.pdf"

</p><p>STP partners have established a pooled fund to support the work of the STP.
The total spend from March 2016 to end of September 2017 was £2,264,000. This figure
is inclusive of consultancy and reviews.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has not made
an assessment of the potential merits of redrawing the geographical scope of the STP
– however, NHS England has set out arrangements for STPs to be able to propose an
adjustment to their geographical boundaries. The geographical scope and composition
of Sussex and East Surrey STP is a matter for its local partners.</p>
