2. Sustainability and Transformation Plan
“Delivering the Forward View” signalled the requirement for a five year, place-based ‘Sustainability and Transformation Plan’ (STP) to be co-designed and co-produced by commissioners and providers 
The STP is an umbrella plan covering three Local health economy plans on different geographic footprints.
The plan is about delivering the Five Year Forward View and closing the three gaps, namely:
the health and wellbeing;
the care and quality;
the finance and efficiency gaps.

3. Northumberland, Tyne and Wear Sustainability and Transformation Plan
The Northumberland Tyne and Wear STP footprint is a new collaboration covering a total population of 1.5 million residents across three Local Health Economies (LHEs):
Newcastle Gateshead
Northumberland and North Tyneside
South Tyneside and Sunderland
Organisations delivering Health and Social Care within the STP footprint are detailed on the map; including North Durham due to patient flows and geography.
The NTW footprint has broadly similar age and sex demographic characteristics with the biggest variances occurring in Newcastle and Gateshead which has a larger year old population and Northumberland which has a larger year old population.
Large numbers of students bring the age population down in Newcastle, with increased number of people retiring to Northumberland having the opposite effect.
