PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(11 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will issue guidance to integrated care boards on representation for NHS Primary Care stakeholders.

Asked by:
Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

The Health and Care Act 2022 sets out the legislative minimum integrated care board (ICB) membership requirement, with a mandated partner member nominated for primary medical services, along with nominated partner members from the National Health Service trusts and local authorities to bring knowledge and a perspective from their sectors. ICBs can exceed the legislative minimum requirements for ICB membership to address local needs, which may include additional representation from a diverse range of stakeholders, including primary care. Currently there are no plans to issue any guidance on representation of NHS primary care stakeholders.
