![]() ![]() ICSs are part of a fundamental shift in the way the health and care system is organised. It is hoped that they will be a vehicle for achieving greater integration of health and care services improving population health and reducing inequalities supporting productivity and sustainability of services and helping the NHS to support social and economic development. ICSs are intended to bring about major changes in how health and care services are planned, paid for and delivered, and are a key part of the future direction for the NHS as set out in the NHS Long Term Plan. All parts of England are now covered by one of 42 ICSs ( see Map 1). The central aim of ICSs is to integrate care across different organisations and settings, joining up hospital and community-based services, physical and mental health, and health and social care. Integrated care systems (ICSs) are partnerships that bring together providers and commissioners of NHS services across a geographical area with local authorities and other local partners to collectively plan health and care services to meet the needs of their population. ![]()
