17.1.18 – email to Alan Foster (CCG lead for STPs in the North East and Cumbria)Dear Mr FosterFurther to the Joint STP Health Scrutiny Committee held on Monday 15th January 2018 at Gateshead Civic Centre, members of the health campaign groups present were surprised to hear your response to one of the questions raised.When asked a pertinent and very reasonable question about the process and timescale for the CCG providing the next draft or version of the NTWND STP, the response provided by yourself was "the STP will be published when we have developed it". There was no or minimal attempt from yourself to qualify or explain this statement.The wording of your response and the lack of clarification is, of course, ironic given the lengthy prior discourse at the meeting around the importance of collaboration.Your response was also provided in the context of the previous agenda item about the "STP Prevention Workstream", and we heard of regional progress with the "STP Prevention Board" but, apparently, you state that there is no STP - an updated draft NTWND STP has yet to be completed.All of the above is a good example of paucity of information compounding confusion and suspicion.?I would be grateful if you would please arrange to provide the following information:1) The draft NTWND STP went to public consultation in November 2016. Please clarify when you envisage an updated draft STP being made public for further engagement and consultation. This process is described in the attached document from Joe Corrigan (CCG) dated 14th February 2017 at point 7:32) Please clarify as to why the CCG has taken the decision for Workstreams / Boards to carry a definitive STP title, when an updated draft STP plan has yet to be made public and agreed3) At the two Joint STP Scrutiny meetings, there have been aside references by CCG staff to what seems a consideration of amalgamating the NTWND STP "footprint" with other areas south of the region and in Cumbria; information and your rationale for this possible development would be appreciated.Your early written response is appreciated, and this will be forwarded to members via social media and websiteJohn Whalley, Co-ordinator, Keep Our NHS Public North EastPauline McDonnell, Gateshead Keep Our NHS PublicRoger Nettleship, Chair, Save South Tyneside hospital CampaignCarole Reeves, Co-ordinator, Durham Keep Our NHS PublicKeep Our NHS Public North EastNo cuts or cash-driven closures? |?
