Integrated Care Boards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he expects the functional output of the Model ICB work to be published.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Integrated care boards (ICBs) have a critical role to play as strategic commissioners, improving population health, reducing inequalities, and ensuring access to high quality care. NHS England has circulated a draft of The Model ICB - blueprint document to all ICBs, to assist them in shaping their future plans, including which functions they should focus on, as indicated in Sir James Mackey’s letter to National Health Service trusts, foundation trusts, and ICBs, which is available at the following link:
