Accepted
Paragraph: 18
DHSC and NHS England must avoid dictating ICS delivery methods for effective integration.
Conclusion
However, if ICSs are to realise the ambitions that have been set for them, and move beyond collaboration towards true integration, it is vital that DHSC and NHS England do not dictate how ICSs should deliver those outcomes. NHS England will also need to be conscious of its organisational culture and make concerted efforts to not revert to overly restrictive ways of working.
