Recommendation 16

16 Paragraph: 53

Clear guidance detailing ICS outcomes for core purposes is required from DHSC/NHS England.

Conclusion
Following engagement with ICSs and being conscious of the space required for local priorities, DHSC and NHS England should issue guidance with additional detail on what ICSs are expected to achieve within each of the four core purposes. As we have said previously, the focus here should be on outcomes and not dictating to ICSs how they achieve the goals.
