Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 22 November 2016 to Question 52821, what assessment he has made of the likely financial health of the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust over the next five years; and if he will make a statement.

Every health and care system in England is producing a multi-year Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP), showing how local services will evolve and become sustainable over the next five years – ultimately delivering the Five Year Forward View vision of better health, better patient care and improved National Health Service efficiency. Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust is part of the Coventry and Warwickshire STP footprint, which aims to deliver a sustainable solution for services across the footprint, including those provided by the Trust, by 2021. The Coventry and Warwickshire STP will be published in due course.

In addition, NHS Improvement will shortly be entering a planning process which will assess the Trust’s plans for the next two years.
