Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate his Department has made of the amount of efficiency savings to be found under the North West London Sustainability and Transformation Plan; and if he will make a statement.

Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) are being developed by local areas. The North West London STP footprint estimates that its plan will produce £570 million of ‘business as usual’ savings based on NHS England’s counterfactual set out in the Five Year Forward View, the majority delivered by the acute providers through joint working and without strategic change.

Furthermore, the plan also estimates that changing service provision will deliver £303 million of clinical commissioning group commissioner savings and £143 million of provider savings, subject to capital investment.
