This document responds to Seventh Report - Integrated Care Systems: autonomy and accountability.

This is the government's response, published 14 June 2023.

Summary written by Accountability Index from the government's response. It is not the government's own words.

The government welcomes the committee's report and states that it "remains committed to the development of ICSs", responding to the committee's and the linked Hewitt Review recommendations together, with some accepted, some supported in principle or kept under consideration, and some not agreed.

  • On leadership, it states: "We accept the value of having a national leadership programme across health, care and wider sectors."
  • On a national prevention spending shift, it says: "we do not agree with imposing a national expectation of an essentially arbitrary shift in spending."
  • On centrally gathering ICB membership data, it says this "will be duplicating efforts as all the information is publicly available".
  • On CQC ratings, DHSC "will consider the best approach regarding ICS ratings" and states that CQC "will start to test the ratings" in 2024 to 2025.
