The State of Child Health: STP

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has published State of Child Health short report series: sustainability and transformation partnerships. The RCPCH has undertaken a review of Sustainability and Transformation Plans from a child health perspective. The report finds that while most STPs set out the case for change well and cover important key themes such as prevention, early intervention, more care delivered in the community, better mental health services and integrated working, there is a lack of detail underpinning the vision. It concludes that the lack of profile given to infants, children and young people by the majority of STPs is a cause for concern.
