Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) Implementation
The Health and Care Act 2022 enabled Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) to move onto a statutory footing with the establishment of Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and Integrated Care Partnerships (ICPs). This took place on 1 July 2022 as communicated in the NHS 2022/2023 priorities and operational planning guidance.
Each Integrated Care System (ICS) has an Integrated Care Board (ICB), a statutory organisation bringing the NHS together locally to improve population health and establish shared strategic priorities within the NHS. When ICBs were legally established, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) were abolished.
