Integrated Care Boards: Redundancy

Asked by Helen MorganLiberal DemocratDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 10 June 2025UIN 56903

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether NHS England has (a) issued and (b) waived guidance to integrated care boards on redundancy policies since 1 April 2025.

Answered by Karin Smyth

NHS England expects integrated care boards (ICBs) to manage any change programmes within their local policies. Where two or more ICBs come together, we will expect them to apply a consistent change policy approach, as agreed with local unions.
