Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of the performance of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board.

NHS England holds integrated care boards (ICBs) and National Health Service providers to account for delivery of national priorities and statutory functions, and oversees them via the NHS oversight framework.

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB has been in receipt of nationally mandated support via NHS England's Recovery Support Programme since June 2023, which is helping to strengthen the financial performance of the system, and deliver other key commitments. NHS England has a legal duty to annually assess the performance of each ICB in each financial year and publish a summary of its findings, taking into consideration how well they are carrying out their statutory functions.
