Answered by David Mowat
It is expected that most areas will publish their plans shortly, alongside plans for more formal engagement during this period – building on the engagement they have already done.
National health and care bodies have published guidance on the Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) process. A copy of the guidance for STP areas can be found here:

Monday 17th October 2016
Asked by:
David Lammy (Labour - Tottenham)
Question
to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many foreign-born EU nationals are employed in the NHS in (a) the UK, (b) England and (c) London both in gross terms and as a proportion of the total NHS workforce.
Answered by Philip Dunne
NHS Digital publishes data on the nationality of staff working in the National Health Service in England. This is a self-reported field within the NHS human resources and payroll system, the electronic staff record (ESR).
The nationality information entered by an individual employee onto ESR may reflect their cultural heritage rather than their country of birth. As such, these figures should be treated with caution. Data is not available for the United Kingdom.
NHS Workforce in trusts, clinical commissioning groups, support organisations and central bodies as at 30 June 2016
| Headcount | Full-time equivalent |
England | 1,201,236 | 1,059,577 |
Of which European Union nationals | 59,769 | 55,787 |
Proportion (England) | 5.0% | 5.3% |
London | 185,633 | 171,607 |
Of which EU nationals | 19,266 | 18,263 |
Proportion (London) | 10.4% | 10.6% |
