To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 15 October 2018 to Question 174768, what steps his Department is taking in respect of Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships which have not produced an estates strategy.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

All 42 sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) submitted an estate strategy in July 2018. These strategies have been reviewed by the joint NHS England/NHS Improvement Strategic Estates Planning (SEP) team, and subsequently placed into one of four ‘bands’ overall in terms of their quality and maturity. STPs have received feedback on their strategies from SEP through their regional teams, indicating their banding and providing guidance on how their estate strategy could be further improved.
