In addition to the statutory duties to promote innovation in the Health and Care Bill, the Department continues to work with partners of the National Health Service such as the Accelerated Access Collaborative, to ensure innovation is embedded in integrated care boards (ICBs) and best practice is communicated. The Department also supports Academic Health Science Networks in engaging with ICBs on adoption and innovation.
