NHS Confederation -
On 1 July 2022, integrated care systems (ICSs) became responsible by statute for planning and funding health and care services. They are a core part of the NHS Long Term Plan from 2019 and build on how services have been working together at local levels to orientate health and care much more around the people they serve rather than their organisational boundaries. Their establishment represents the first large-scale structural change to the NHS since 2012. This briefing explains what ICSs are, how they will work, and what they mean for the public.
