Recommendation 15

15 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.
