The NHS is setting up 'war rooms' as chiefs say the service is preparing for what could be England's 'toughest winter on record'. But exactly what they will look like in Greater Manchester is yet to be revealed.
What could be new for Greater Manchester are the rapid response teams promised in the plan.
The 'data-driven' control centres will be '24/7 care traffic control centres', they are expected to be created in every local area. The centres will help the NHS to cope during the high pressure winter months and were announced last week as part of the government's winter preparation plan.
