Working for our organisation
NHS ICB is a strategic component of the Integrated Care System (ICS) across Lincolnshire delivering the commitments set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.
As a strategic commissioner, we are responsible for meeting the needs of our population through commissioning high-quality services. We seek to improve patient experience and are committed to looking at innovative ways we can improve care and offer more choice. Individuals are at the heart of everything we do, and it’s important that they are involved not just in decisions about their individual care, but also in the decisions that shape the health services delivered locally.
In conjunction with individuals' experience and the growing demands of our population, we are facing increasing financial challenges. We are required to reduce expenditure to sustainable levels (in alignment with the ICS 5-year strategic plan) which broadly fall into three types of scheme: system wide transformation, system wide efficiency, ICB only efficiency.
The ICB will promote good governance and proper stewardship of public resources in pursuance of its goals and in meeting its statutory duties. Good corporate governance arrangements are critical to achieving the ICB’s objectives and financial sustainability.
