Issue - meetings

The Board received the Health and Care Integration: National, Regional and Local Changes Report.

Statutory Changes had taken effect from 1 July 2022.  From 30 June 2022 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) were abolished.  These changes included: Integrated Care Systems being placed on a statutory footing; and Integrated Care (ICS) Boards coming into being.  This meant a new organisation in North West London had been created.

The North West London ICS covered the eight boroughs of North West London and brought together all health and care organisations working to deliver against the four core national objectives of ICSs.  The ICS did not have a budget or employ staff.

In North West London, the Integrated Care Board (ICB) was known publicly as NHS NW London.  This was the statutory NHS organisation responsible for developing a plan for meeting the health needs of the population, managing the NHS budget and arranging for the provision of health services in North West London.  It held a budget and employed staff (those in employment of the CCG on 30 June 2022 had their employment transferred to the ICB).

The Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) was the statutory committee jointly formed between the NHS Integrated Care Board and all local authorities in North West London.  The ICP was responsible for producing the overall strategy on how to meet the health and wellbeing needs of the population in NW London.

The ICP also did not have a budget or employ staff.

The Borough Based Partnerships (BBP) were the eight local partnerships who delivered the strategy.  These partnerships included primary care, community care, acute trusts, mental health, local authorities and the voluntary sector.

RESOLVED:  That the Report be noted.
