Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether integrated (a) care systems and (b) sustainability and transformation partnership will be required to publish local long-term plans in the Autumn.

The NHS Long Term Plan Implementation Framework asked both integrated care systems and sustainability and transformation partnerships to undertake strategic system planning.

System plans for delivery through to 2023/24 are being developed, with an initial submission in September 2019 and a final submission to follow by mid-November 2019. Plans should fully align across the organisations within each system so that they can subsequently be translated into organisational plans for 2020/21, which will be required in early 2020.
