What are STPs? 

Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) have been drawn up in every part of England to enable the delivery of a transformed NHS; delivering the “Five Year Forward View” vision of better health, better patient care and improved NHS efficiency. The plans should cover all health and social care services in their areas, so as well as NHS bodies, councils are also key to their delivery.

Birmingham and Solihull Sustainability and Transformation Plan 

Birmingham and Solihull Sustainability and Transformation Plan

Health and social care organisations in Solihull have a long and strong track record of working closely together to make sure that our local health and social care services are as joined as possible so that Solihull residents are unable to see where one ends and the other starts.

Your local Healthwatch are working together to make sure that the voice of local people is represented and included in our Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) for Birmingham and Solihull. We are calling for a consistent and high-quality approach to providing local people with information about the STP and to engaging with them about any changes to services. This page will have regular updates regarding the plan and documents will continue to be added below.

What is the BNSSG STP? 

  • Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) are umbrella plans that each local health and social care system, or footprint, must develop and carry out in order to meet the challenges in the Five Year Forward View.
  • Birmingham and Solihull are working together as one of 44 agreed local areas across the England.
