Answer
This change is not about reductions to front line services. We are clarifying the role of the integrated care boards (ICBs), to focus on strategic commissioning. Alongside this, there is a need to move ICBs to the same level of efficiency in their administrative costs. Currently there is significant variation across ICBs in their administrative spending, and it is this variation that is being targeted.
