Answer
The Health and Care Bill establishes integrated care boards and integrated care partnerships (ICPs) in England. The ICP is intended to bring together health, social care and public health services to develop strategies to address local needs. The legislation allows local areas to develop specific models but we would expect community pharmacy to play a key role.
