Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships Boundaries

This file contains the digital vector boundaries for Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships in England as at April 2018. The boundaries are super generalised (200m) - clipped to the coastline (Mean High Water mark). Contains both Ordnance Survey and ONS Intellectual Property Rights. In 2016 the NHS and local councils came together in 44 areas covering all of England to develop proposals to improve health and care. They formed new partnerships – known as sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) – to run services in a more coordinated way, to agree system-wide priorities, and to plan collectively how to improve residents’ day-to-day health. Partnerships published their initial proposals in 2016 which have since continued to develop to reflect local priorities, views from people who use and provide services, elected representatives and local voluntary organisations. In some areas, STPs have evolved to become integrated care systems, a new form of even closer collaboration between the NHS and local councils. The NHS Long Term Plan set out the aim that every part of England will be covered by an integrated care system by 2021, replacing STPs but building on their good work to date.
