Driving Economic Growth

The Role of LEPs

• Private/ Public Partnerships with responsibility for driving local economic growth

• 39 across England• Established 2011• Key public sector partners: Local Authorities; Universities; FE• www.lepnetwork.net

An example – Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire LEP

• 430,000 jobs• 36,000 enterprises• A balanced economy lying between the West Midlands and

Greater Manchester• 2015 – 2021 An investment package of £238m (£175m public

sector funds)• Key Projects:

• Opening up employment sites• Skills Hubs + bringing employers and providers together• Building conversion for Enterprise Units• New and local approach to energy production

What are we trying to achieve ?

• More Jobs• 25,000 +/- already achieved • 45% reduction in JSA claimants

• Better Jobs• A mixed picture

• Some renaissance in manufacturing• Location = strong demand for logistics

• Higher paid Jobs• A low wage economy

• Limited success.

The key role of the NHS and Health in local economies

• Very substantial employer• University Hospitals North Midlands NHS Trust – 12,000

staff• Other parts of the NHS could double this ? – 25,000• Add other parts of the sector in public/ private

• Total could be 50,000 – a very considerable number!• A very substantial spend in local economies and a key impact

on local growth.• However, I would suggest, very patchy involvement by the

NHS in the work of LEPs

Shared Mutual Interests• We want a successful local economy

• People in work places less demand on Health services• Supporting individuals to help stay in work

• We want an attractive environment in which skilled staff will locate to

• A good local education system is central to preparing people for the world of work

• Procurement: Working with local business• The NHS is not recruiting in isolation

• We have a tight labour market• Apprenticeship targets – LEP at the centre of a changing

FE landscape.• Developing health tech clusters ?
