Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many Integrated Care Boards have (a) patient and (b) other representatives of the public on their boards.

The Health and Care Act 2022 sets out minimum membership requirements of the integrated care boards (ICBs) that include representatives from National Health Service trusts, primary care and local authorities. ICBs can, by local agreement, go beyond the legislative minimum requirements in order to address their local needs. Details of each ICB board membership is publicly available on ICBs websites and is not held centrally by the Department.
