Board Meetings

The STP Board membership includes a single senior representative from partner organisations, representatives of other stakeholder groups and the chairs of key cross-cutting groups. The STP board meets monthly at locations around the footprint.

The purpose of the STP Board is to:

• bring together GPs, hospitals, mental health services and social care to keep people healthier for longer and to integrate services around the patients who need it most;
• be a forum in which health leaders can plan services that are safer and more effective because they link together hospitals so that staff and expertise are shared between them;
• ensure that front-line clinicians in all settings are engaged in driving the real changes to the way care is delivered, that they can see are needed and beneficial;
• be a vehicle for ensuring efficient public spending.

Where there is a need further appropriate decision-making mechanisms may be established.
