Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how he plans to ensure that Integrated Care Providers improve strategic decision making.
NHS England launched a 12 week public consultation on the proposed contracting arrangements for integrated care providers (ICPs) on 3 August 2018 which concluded on 26 October. More information is available at the following link:

NHS England will publish a response to the consultation following full consideration of responses and feedback.
The consultation documents provide more detail about the NHS England’s current proposals for ICPs, including:
- how the proposed ICP Contract would underpin integration between services;
- how it would differ from existing National Health Service commissioning contracts; and
- how ICPs would fit into the broader commissioning system.
