Recommendation 15
15
Deferred
Paragraph: 52
Lack of clarity on ICS deliverables hinders public and parliamentary accountability.
Conclusion
We share the concern expressed by the NAO about the lack of clarity around what ICSs are expected to deliver within their core purposes. While we are conscious of, and agree with, the need to avoid micromanaging ICSs, we believe that DHSC needs to provide additional clarity about what exactly ICSs are expected to deliver. Only then can the public, and parliamentarians, begin to assess the success of ICSs.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government deflected from providing clarity on what ICSs are expected to deliver, instead discussing the public availability of ICB board member information and their discretion in appointing additional members.
