NHS England 31 March 2016
- In order to succeed, all STPs will require a basic governance and implementation ‘support chassis’ From April 2017 all NHS organisations will form part of a Sustainability and Transformation Partnership, which will:
- Form an STP board drawn from constituent organisations, and establish formal CCG Committees in Common. Where an individual organisation is standing in the way of needed local change and failing to meet their duties of collaboration NHS England will, on the recommendation of the STP, be able to take action to unblock progress.
- re/appoint an STP chair/leader using a fair process in line with the national role specification
- Ensure the STP has the necessary programme management support by pooling expertise
- Be able to propose an adjustment to their geographical boundaries
- STPs and their constituent organisations, will be judged by the results they are able to achieve. Metrics will be pulished at STP level
