1. That the update on the emerging NHS Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) be noted.
2. That authority be delegated to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Wellbeing and Health, to sign off the STPs on behalf of the Council through its membership of the relevant STP Transformation / Programme Boards.
Reasons for Decisions:
The deadlines and tight timescales for the preparation and submission of NHS Sustainability and Transformation Plans necessitate the recommendation included in this report to delegate authority to sign off the STPs on behalf of the Council ahead of the deadline for submission to NHS England.
