Integrated Care Board (ICB)

Definition

Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) are responsible for planning and commissioning NHS services in England. Each ICB aligns with an Integrated Care System (ICS), working across health, social care and community organisations to improve patient outcomes.

Also known as

Integrated Care Board, NHS ICB

Relevance to OCSI

ICBs impact local health data, deprivation analysis and resource allocation. ICB boundaries can be added to Local Insight to help analyse health inequalities, community needs and public service provision.
