	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

There are longstanding rules to assure this.</p><p> </p><p>All significant service change is subject to a full public consultation and proposals must meet the Government’s four reconfiguration tests. These are support from clinical commissioners, clarity on the clinical evidence base, robust patient and public engagement and support for patient choice. There is additional NHS England guidance which means that proposed service reconfigurations should be tested for their impact on overall bed numbers in the area.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 15/09/2017 12:28:27 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
