The proposed legislation will set out minimum membership of the Integrated Care Board, which will need to include at least one local authority representative. Local areas can, by local agreement, go beyond the legislative minimum requirements in order to address their specific needs. Any further board members should be detailed in the Integrated Care Board’s constitution. The proposed legislation is designed to be flexible, allowing local areas to design structures that work best for them.
