Background
For a mapping file of the hierarchical changes please refer to the Changes to organisation reference data: sustainability and transformation partnerships reconfiguration page. Note that the mapping file does not contain the full scope of changes. This change summary should be acknowledged in conjunction with the mapping file.
Although the sustainability and transformation partnership (STP) hierarchical change will be implemented into ORD in April 2020, it was operationally effective from April 2019.
The orgnisaiton data service (ODS) strongly recommend that ORD data users assess the impact and prepare themselves for the changes.
What we are changing on 1 April 2020
In April 2020, 14 NHS England (Region, Local Offices) will be replaced by 42 sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) as the Higher Level Health Authority in organisation reference data (ORD).
Before April 2020
From April 2020
A total of 14 NHS England (Region Local Offices) will be replaced by 42 sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) as the Higher Level Health Authority in organisation reference data (ORD).
The number of Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and ommissioning hubs sitting underneath this middle tier is also changing as there are a number of mergers occurring at this level. Commissioning hubs will no longer relate to the middle tier of the hierarchy.

Sustainability and transformation partnership (STP) boundary changes – North East and Yorkshire
3 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) merge:
- Harrogate and Rural District CCG
- Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby CCG
