About us
NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) is a strategic component of the Integrated Care System (ICS) across Lincolnshire delivering the commitments set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.
As a strategic commissioner we are responsible for meeting the needs of our population through commissioning high quality services.

In conjunction, with patient experience and the growing demands of our population; we are facing increasing financial challenge.
