Recommendation 12
12
Acknowledged
Paragraph: 43
DHSC requires urgent clarity on providing advance funding information to Integrated Care Systems.
Conclusion
We welcome the Minister’s comments about giving ICSs information about the funding that will be available to them further in advance. DHSC must set out how it intends to do this, and any decision to give that information must be made in plenty of time to support ICS preparations for winter 2023/24.
Government Response Summary
The government provided a vague commitment, describing how a senior advisory group and system leaders are supporting the implementation and design of new initiatives, but did not specify how it would provide funding information to ICSs earlier.

Government Response

HM Government
Acknowledged
Implementation is being supported by a very senior advisory group made up of staff from health, social care, local government, the third sector, patient representatives, networks, system leaders and think tanks. System leaders with significant experience from across health and social care and other sectors have been involved in design of all new initiatives. Learning around successful implementation of organisational change and new ways of working has also been sought from within health and other industries including retail, the military, logistics and catering, and incorporated into the team.
