In response to questions asked by Jillian Creasy regarding the STP, the Chair indicated that the Committee would look at how the Sheffield Plan fitted with the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw STP and added that all Members were aware of the associated resource issues, with the aim being to do what was best for the people of Sheffield.  She added that she had attended regional meetings and would bring any issues back to the Committee, emphasising that this was the start of a journey.  Alison Knowles (Locality Director, NHS England) stated that the STP for the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw region would be published shortly.  With regard to this, it was agreed that the Policy and Improvement Officer would provide Committee Members with an overview of key upcoming dates, including consultation and approvals and the potential role of Scrutiny going forward.
