We are working with Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust as the North London Mental Health Partnership.

North Central London Sustainability and Transformation Plan

The health and care system across North Central London (NCL) - clinical commissioning groups, local authorities and NHS providers - have worked together to develop an NCL-wide sustainability and transformation plan (STP). This sets out how local health and care services will transform and become sustainable over the next five years, building and strengthening local relationships and ultimately delivering the Five Year Forward View vision. 

For the NHS to meet the needs of future patients in a sustainable way, we need to close the gaps in health, finance and quality of care between where we are now and where we need to be in 2020/21. 

In order to create a better future for the NHS, we must make changes to how local people live, access care, and how this care is delivered. This doesn’t mean doing less for patients or reducing the quality of care provided. It means more preventative care; finding new ways to meet people’s needs; and identifying ways to do things more efficiently. 

Our vision 

  • To improve health and wellbeing outcomes for the people of North Central London and ensure sustainable health and social care services, built around the needs of local people.
  • To develop new models of care to achieve better outcomes for all; focused on prevention and out of hospital care.
  • To work in partnership to commission, contract and deliver services efficiently and safely.
The STP is an opportunity to continue to work together over the North Central London area (known as a ‘footprint’) and look at how we can do this better. This is a challenging piece of work, but the opportunities to improve care and the quality of health and care services are considerable.
 
We made a submission to NHS England in June 2016 setting out our initial thinking which we are continuing to refine and develop. This was the progress update at September 2016. We submitted further thinking at the end of October 2016 and anticipate being in a position to discuss potential long term solutions from in 2017.
 
All of this work has been based on the case for change, developed by the STP’s Clinical Cabinet, who are advising us on the plan to ensure it reflects the best clinical expertise from a range of health and care professionals. We are also starting an on-going programme of engagement and discussion with local people which we expect to continue over the coming months. 
 

The organisations below are working together to deliver the NCL STP

Integrated Care Systems comprising:

  • integrated care boards (ICBs): statutory bodies that are responsible for planning and funding most NHS services in the area
  • integrated care partnerships (ICPs): statutory committees that bring together a broad set of system partners (including local government, the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE), NHS organisations and others) to develop a health and care strategy for the area.
