NHS: Reorganisation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much funding for (a) capital investment and (b) contingency planning he plans will be available for the Sussex and East Surrey Sustainability and Transformation Plan; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

Requests for capital from Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) footprints will be assessed by NHS England in the coming weeks in parallel with the operational planning and contracting round. Given constraints on public capital, it will test each proposal against whether it improves services and delivers value for money and prioritise accordingly to live within the available budget. Contingency planning will similarly be assessed as the STP constituent parties agree operational plans.
