The NHS in Northamptonshire needs to change the way it works in order to meet a projected £230 million shortfall from the Government.
But the plans, which include delivering more care from home and reducing A&E emissions were largely criticised for being difficult to understand, for lacking consultation and for the fact consultants were paid £720,000 to help draw them up.
A report by NHS England, looking at the progress of STPs nationwide, states that Northamptonshire's proposals will be among the most difficult to deliver.
