The Board received an update from the Strategic Director – People, HBC and the Chief Commissioner, NHS Halton CCG, on the One Halton Place Based Partnership development with Cheshire Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Integrated Care Partnership (ICP).

Further to the report to the Board in November 2021 where the requirements for the formation of Integrated Care Systems regionally and an Integrated Care Partnership at Place level was discussed, these were detailed in NHS Reforms and now set out in the White Paper Integration and Innovation, published in February 2021, and would build on the NHS long term plan.

Appended to the report was a Development Advisory Group briefing, dated 5 January 2022, which gave details of the new target date of 1 July 2022 for the statutory arrangements to take effect and ICBs to be legally and operationally established. 

The briefing also contained information on recruitment to senior roles, a Covid-19 update and responses to key questions that had been raised.  A response was provided to the Chair’s query regarding funding arrangements and whether they would be pooled or aligned, as discussed in paragraph 3.7.

RESOLVED:  That the report be noted.
