Speaker 3
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And clause 22 updates legislation to abolish the requirement for ICBs and their partner NHS trusts to prepare and publish a joint forward plan and a joint capital resource plan. The 10-year health plan aims to simplify local healthcare planning and this bill delivers the objective by removing legal requirements for integrated care partnerships, integrated care strategies, joint forward plans and joint capital resource plans. Planning will now begin with the joint strategic needs assessment developed by health and wellbeing boards.
The joint strategic needs assessment will inform new neighborhood health plans, replacing the joint local health and wellbeing strategy. ICBs will produce population health improvement plans, aligning multiple joint strategic needs assessments, neighborhood health plans, and local priorities across their wider populations. As a result, the planning process will be streamlined, less bureaucratic, and will deliver healthcare for local people based on local planning and strategy. And I commend this clause to the committee.
