Health Services: Tyne and Wear
(asked on 12th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the effect of the Path to Excellence proposals made by South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Partnership on (a) service users and (b) the local population for people in (i) Jarrow constituency and (ii) South Tyneside.
The ‘Path to Excellence’ is a five-year transformation of healthcare provision across South Tyneside and Sunderland being put forward under their Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs).
The Government has not made a specific assessment on the effect of the ‘Path to Excellence’ proposals made by the Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Partnership on service users or the local population. However, in June 2017, NHS England published an STP dashboard that makes an assessment of all STP performance across England. The STP dashboard can be found here:
The Northumberland, Tyne and Wear STP is rated as category 2 - ‘advanced’ in the published STP dashboard.
