NHS organisations and local councils developed shared proposals to improve health and care, working in 44 areas covering all of England. Known as sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs), STPs were created to bring local health and care leaders together to plan around the long-term needs of local communities. They were drawn up by senior figures from different parts of the local health and care system, following discussion with staff, patients and others in the communities they serve. A number of these partnerships have now grown into integrated care systems and it is expected that by April 2021 every STP will become one.NHS England has today announced it will be launching a consultation on the contracting arrangements for Accountable Care Organisations (ACOs). There is widespread support for ending the fragmented way that care has been provided to improve services for patients and the NHS has been working towards this in a number of ways. ACOs are just one of these ways and are intended to allow health and care organisations to formally contract to provide services for a local population in a coordinated way. An ACO is not a new type of legal entity and so would not affect the commissioning structure of the NHS. An ACO would simply be the provider organisation which is awarded a single contract by commissioners for all the services which are within scope for the local accountable care model. Therefore any proposal to award an ACO contract would engage local commissioners’ own duties under the NHS Act 2006. Any area seeking to use an ACO contract would need to comply with longstanding public procurement law.
