The NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) will meet in public on Tuesday 19 March, 12.45pm at West Yorkshire Manufacturing Services, Kirkdale House, Armytage Road, Brighouse HD6 1QF.
The Board is part of the legislation set out in the Health and Care Act 2022, which came into force on the 1 July 2022. It focuses on improving outcomes for people by addressing health inequalities, the difference in care received and effective use of budgets across the area. It is part of West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership (WY HCP), an integrated care system.
The board’s role includes delivering the Five Year Integrated Care Strategy for health and care services and the NHS West Yorkshire ICB Joint Forward Plan. Most decisions about circa £5billion budget and the services delivered locally are made in the five local places of West Yorkshire, via its strong local place partnerships in Bradford District and Craven, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield District.
The board also works alongside care provider collaboratives, such as The West Yorkshire Association of Acute Trusts, the Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism Collaborative, Community Care Collaborative and hospices working together. The board has an independent chair, Cathy Elliott. Its Chief Executive is Rob Webster CBE.
The meeting on Tuesday 19 March will include an update report from Cathy and Rob; a focus on the work of the West Yorkshire Association of Acute Trusts, which is made up of local NHS hospitals; and updates on a range of other issues including the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Local Maternity and Neonatal System, Freedom to Speak Up Annual Report, and the ICB’s first Modern Slavery Statement.
People are asked to contact westyorkshireics.
