Combined Authorities and Integrated Care Systems
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to ensure that Integrated Care Systems operate on areas that co-terminate with Mayoral Combined Authorities.
Answered by Jim McMahon
As set out in the English Devolution White Paper, the government recognises the benefits that aligned geographical boundaries can have for improving coordination between public services. The English Devolution White Paper therefore set out government's long-term ambition to align public service boundaries, including job centres, police, probation, fire, health services and Strategic and Local Authorities.
