Integrated Care Boards: Reform
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the potential merits of reforming integrated care boards.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Department has not taken any recent assessment to reform integrated care boards (ICBs). As part of the necessary changes to support the National Health Service to recover, NHS England has indicated that ICBs should reduce in size. The Government is supportive of NHS England taking the action needed to get the NHS back on its feet.
