Every locality in England now has a sustainability and transformation partnership (STP) and plan, which are critical to transforming health and social care at a local level. For this year’s report, we have taken the new opportunity to assess prevention in STPs as well as repeating a review of joint health and wellbeing strategies and local authority Freedom of Information (FOI) responses."
