Latest Developments

 

Representatives from Integrated Care Systems (ICS) and Public Health  were present at the meeting to discuss the national development of the ICS  and how this would play a critical role in aligning action between partners to improve outcomes, tackle inequalities, enhance productivity, make best use of resources and to strengthen local communities.

 

The ICS Representative gave a presentation which detailed the proposed Integrated Care System (ICS) for the North East and Cumbria Region.

 

As part of the ensuing discussions, the following comments were made:

 

  • The NHS Health and Care Bill had been presented to Parliament for its first reading in July 2021;

·        Members queried if there would be an assigned model to the proposed place-based partnerships between the NHS, local councils and voluntary organisations, residents and people who access services, or if there would be a blended model?

·        It was confirmed that the South Tees CCG currently operated with a number of different models and it was expected that the ICS would also provide the opportunity for a blended model;

·        A Member highlighted that at times Elected Members views could be marginalised. This was an issue that had been highlighted nationally;

·        There was provision in the NHS bill to ensure that the Joint Health and Wellbeing Boards would continue. Members were assured that the relationship between the Health and Wellbeing Board and the ICS NHS would be strong;

·        Members questioned if there would be less emphasis on private providers and a move to provide more functions in-house?

·        It was confirmed that the ICS would move further towards collaboration and there would be a selection scheme in place to identify suitable providers;

·        The ICS NHS bodies would take on all functions of CCGs, as well as direct commissioning functions, NHSE may delegate commissioning of primary care and appropriate specialised services;

·        Members noted the scale of the North East and North Cumbria ICS, which had a population just below 3 million;

·        A timeline detailing preparations in the run up to a fully operational ICS was unavailable for the present meeting;

·        Assurance was provided regarding the transition of services and staff.
