All 42 sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) have produced an estate strategy articulating key estates issues and priorities in their STP area and outlining plans for transformation of clinical services to better meet the needs of patients.

The Department does not intend to publish or oversee the publication of these documents. It is for individual STPs to decide on how best to communicate the content of their strategies externally. It is expected that STPs’ estate strategies will continue to evolve in line with individual STPs’ clinical plans and following feedback provided by national organisations.

Commissioners and providers have a duty to undertake public engagement and involvement on a continuous basis and guidance issued by NHS England and NHS Improvement to STPs stated that estate strategies should demonstrate that there has been thorough consultation and participation from all partners.
