2. Sustainability and Transformation plan (STP)
The sustainability and transformation plan (STP)  for Northumberland, Tyne, Wear and Northern Durham (NTWND) was submitted to NHS England on Friday 21 October 2016 and is due to be published mid-November following discussions about the submission with NHS England. 
The STP submission is a technical document, written for NHS England and NHS Improvement, so it is not a very public friendly.
We are working on public facing versions as well as engagement mechanisms which will allow people to easily feedback their views on the content.
The intention is to publish the full STP on 24th November, and at the same time make available the public versions to aid the understanding of the content.
The feedback received will inform the next version of the STP in the New Year, which will then be formally consulted upon as a strategic plan for the NTWND area.
Any potential reconfiguration of services would require its own consultation process in line with legislation, NHS policy and case law.
