IN RESPONSE

6.    The Chair asked about the next big steps in the process. It was advised that from 1 July 2022 there would be an Integrated Care Board (IBC). Focus would be on what could be done to improve health and wellbeing of residents. Health and social care support would be person-centred and holistic. There would be some changes to the technical ways of commissioning, and a move to a more collaborative model, and a more nimble way of working with providers.

7.    The Chair welcomed the changes and raised that expectations would be high and there was a need to be honest with residents and patients.
