Integrated Care Boards: Cost Effectiveness
(asked on 2nd June 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether reducing ICB costs by 50 per cent will lead to reductions in front line services.
This question was answered on 6th June 2025
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.
