Recommendation 10

10 Paragraph: 39

Integrated Care Boards need public health representation; DHSC review required for mandating inclusion.

Conclusion
To guarantee a continual focus on the prevention agenda, all Integrated Care Boards should ensure they include a public health representative, such as a public health director or public health lead. In 12 months, DHSC should conduct a review to understand the extent to which this is happening. If necessary, further steps should be taken to mandate the inclusion of a public health representative so the focus on prevention is not lost.
