Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) were launched in July 2022 and are part of the NHS. They play a vital role in developing and coordinating work across their local system to reduce health inequalities and improve the health of their communities.
The North Central London Integrated Care Board is responsible for deciding how the NHS budget in our area is spent and for achieving value for money in the ICS. We cover the five boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, and Islington.
We are part of the wider North Central London Integrated Care Board which is a partnership of NHS, councils, and voluntary sector organisations.
We have a legal duty to improve the health of children and young people, support people to stay well and independent, help tackle preventable illnesses, support those with long term conditions or mental ill health, and care for those with multiple needs as they age.
We commission safe, effective, and efficient health services. We also support NHS trusts to make sure we are meeting national standards on, for example, waiting times for treatment, ambulance response times, personalised care and support plans, and cancer diagnosis. We support GPs in areas such as best-practice management of long term conditions.
