This PSNC Briefing summarises the key points in the NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I) document Integrating care – Next steps to building strong and effective integrated care systems across England published on 24th November 2020.

The document contains plans to further increase the importance of Integrated Care Systems (ICS) within the NHS, so LPC Chief Officers will want to read the NHSE&I document in full, but this PSNC Briefing provides a summary of the key points for LPC members. NHSE&I are seeking the views of stakeholders on four questions posed in the document and LPCs may wish to submit a response to these questions; responses are requested by 8th January 2021.
