About us
In Cheshire and Merseyside, it has long been our ambition to improve the way health and care services work together, but bureaucracy has often made this challenging. With a population of approx. 2.6 million it is the 2ndlargest ICS footprint in England.The new Health and Care Bill sets out legislative changeswhich create a duty to collaborate and promote joint working across healthcare, public health, and social care.
We will take on statutory form following the implementation of legislation from July 2022 and will comprise an Integrated Care Board (ICB) which will take on the 9 Cheshire & Merseyside CCGs' functions and broader strategic responsibility for setting healthcare strategies for the system. The ICB will work with an Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) committee formed jointly with Local Authority Partners. Together the ICP and ICB will become the ICS. In effect, the reforms give us the opportunity to make our vision of working together to improve population health a reality. However, while legislation can help to create the right conditions, it will be our hard work that will make the biggest difference.
Within the C&M ICS there are 9 'Places'. By working together at Place, making shared decisions about how the local health and care resources can best be used, we know that we can drastically improve population health, delivering more joined up care, focused on a person's individual needs and providing them with the support to manage their own care.
