Recommendation 9

Paragraph: 38
Integrated Care Boards lack mandated public health representation, hindering population health outcomes.
Conclusion
Improving outcomes in population health and healthcare is one of the four core purposes of ICSs. Despite this, there is no mandated representation for public health professionals on Integrated Care Boards. Without that voice of expertise driving the public health agenda on ICBs, we are sceptical that ICSs will succeed in addressing longer-term priorities and fear that the move to ICSs will, once again, result in a sickness service, not a health service for the future.
