Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many Sustainability and Transformation Plans include plans for intermediate and step-down care.

This information is not held centrally.

The National Health Service and local government partners are currently engaging communities on their draft plans, and no change to services people currently receive will be made without consultation where it is required. Each organisation collaborating on a Sustainability and Transformation Plan retains its usual duties to engage local people on any new proposals. There are longstanding assurance processes in place to make sure this happens.
