A Healthy London Partnership briefing - planning guidance 2019-20 (.pdf)This resource is a summary of the planning guidance for 2019/20 that was published immediately after the publication of the NHS Long Term Plan.
Overall summary
Whilst clearly influenced by the new priorities, 2019/20 will be a transition year, with every NHS trust, foundation trust and clinical commissioning group (CCG) expected to agree single year organisational operating plans and contribute to a single year local health system-level plan.
Existing commitments in the Five Year Forward View (FYFV) and national strategies will all continue to be implemented in 2019/20 and 2020/21 as originally planned for cancer, mental health, learning disability, general practice and maternity. However, for mental health and primary care in particular, we see the addition of new guidelines and requirements that reflect the increase in funding that has been made available.
