Recommendation 13

Accepted
Paragraph: 47
ICS leaders need support to develop collaborative system leadership skills, avoiding NHS-centricity.
Conclusion
System leadership is different to organisational leadership and ICS leaders, as well as leaders at other levels, need support to develop skills to make the most of the opportunities and to ensure ICSs do not become too NHS centric. Systems need leaders that will work collaboratively and not be tied to the existing institutional instinct in healthcare to look upwards rather than outwards.
Government Response Summary

Accepted
The ways of working described in NHS England’s new operating framework reflect the change to system-based approaches to improvement and stronger partnership working. In the framework NHS England describes its aim to co-create and secure co-ownership of strategy, priorities and plans both within the NHS and with wider partners, building on the close partnership working that already exists, as demonstrated through the establishment of ICSs and in developing the most recent planning guidance.
