Sustainability and Transformation Plan
West Yorkshire and Harrogate STP covers eleven clinical commissioning groups (who buy care for local people), six local council boundaries, as well as services provided by a number of health and social care organisations.
Our vision for West Yorkshire and Harrogate is for everyone to have the best possible outcomes for their health and wellbeing.
Closer partnership working is at the very core of our STP. Over the past six months the leadership and staff of the West Yorkshire and Harrogate health and care organisations have been working together on how we respond to the challenges we face and how we deliver our health and social care vision for the 2.6 million people who live here.
The STP is built from six local area place-based plans; Bradford District and Craven, Calderdale, Harrogate and Rural District, Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield. These are focused on the needs of local people.
