Health and care organisations in south east London are already working in close partnership and making collective decisions on how best to manage resources and improve services. However, changes to health and care services in England will put these arrangements on a statutory footing, making ICSs the partnerships formally responsible for allocating resources and planning services for local areas.

To enact these legislative changes, there will be some changes to institutional arrangements before the legislation comes into force in July 2022. In particular, they will need to establish new system-wide governance arrangements and develop a constitution for a new ‘ICS body’. These changes provide an opportunity to build on their existing partnership models and make faster progress on system-working and improving services.

They would like to share some of their current thinking and talk through the work underway to establish their formal ICS. By attending one of two sessions, you will share your ideas on their plans and documents, such as their constitution.
