Recommendation 7

Paragraph: 36
Short-term pressures risk dominating ICSs, hindering focus on public health and prevention.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, there is a clear risk that short-term, acute pressures will dominate ICS capacity, resources and leadership headspace, limiting the true flexibility of ICSs. Active effort from DHSC and NHS England is needed to ensure ICSs retain the space they need to focus on matters like public health and prevention. This will be especially necessary at this early stage of development for ICSs but should be maintained as ICSs evolve.
