Paragraph: 62
Unclear monitoring and accountability mechanisms for partnership working in ICSs
Conclusion
Partnership working is fundamental to the design of ICSs and will be the make-or- break factor in their success. As we have discussed, the monitoring and evaluation of NHS priorities and structures is well established but it is unclear how partnership working will be monitored. It is also unclear how ICSs will be held accountable for partnership working, particularly if problems arise.
Government Response Summary
The government made a vague commitment, stating that NHS England's new operating framework includes a commitment to collaborative working and that NHS England will work with ICB leaders to consider how to best support ICBs to mature.
