"Chair, Forum, Mitsy Harmon-Russell, Greater London region, supporting Composite B.
This motion
highlights that the "Sustainability and Transformation Plans" (STPs) are being pushed
forward within the NHS England as a way of improving services and outcomes.
As stated, any improvements within the NHS are welcome, however STPs, as the motion states, has not been inclusive or transparent.
At our local meeting in East London, a visiting GP reported that this process
was being pushed forward without any system being in place for those who are
affected to raise objections
The fall out continue to be reported, as early this week, the
nursing & midwifery council reported that the strain on the NHS continues to
affect its staff.
A comparison of the last 6 months with last year, shows that
double the numbers of nurses had left the NHS this year than the whole of
last year.
We call on the Labour link to action the points listed in
this motion and continue to support us in highlighting issues with STPs, which are not in the best
interest of those using and working in the NHS.
Please support this motion.
