About us
NHS South West London Integrated Care Board (ICB), as part of South West London Integrated Care System (ICS), is a partnership of organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined-up health and care services to improve the lives of people in our six boroughs: Croydon, Merton, Kingston, Richmond, Sutton, and Wandsworth.
Each ICS consists of two statutory elements:
1. An Integrated Care Board, bringing the NHS together with its partners locally to improve health and care services
2. An Integrated Care Partnership (ICP): the broad alliance of organisations and representatives concerned with improving the care, health, and wellbeing of the population, jointly convened by the ICB and local authorities in the area.
ICBs are statutory NHS bodies responsible for planning and allocating resources to meet the four core purposes of integrated care systems (ICSs):
1. To improve outcomes in population health and healthcare;
2. Tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience, and access;
3. Enhance productivity and value for money;
4. Help the NHS support broader social and economic development.
NHS South West London Integrated Care Board decides how the South West London NHS budget is spent and develops plans to improve people's health, deliver higher quality care, and better value for money.
