Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs): What, why and where next?
IPPR June 2017
  • This 29 page report outlines the background to the STPs, examines the most promising reform solutions that have been identified by STPs and sets out the range of challenges facing the plans.
  • Challenges include 
    • a deficiency in leadership, especially at the national level, which means that the public is either unaware of the reform plans or is misinformed about them, leading to unnecessary opposition 
    • risk relating to funding pressures to support the reform agenda
    • lack of statutory powers with which to deliver their reform agendas
