The ICB work with people who live and work in North West London to plan and improve health and care services. We have an annual budget of £6 billion and serve a diverse population of 2.1m residents. We are here to help local people live healthier lives, improve the quality of healthcare, reduce inequalities and make sure the NHS makes best use of resources.
What is the purpose of an ICB?
We are here to provide oversight of the healthcare system so that we:
- Help our residents and communities live healthier lives
- Ensure access to more consistently high quality healthcare services across North West London
- Tackle inequalities in how people access and experience healthcare and the outcomes they get from our services
- Work with local people, employers and partner organisations to strengthen our communities and make best use of our resources.
We work with local residents, local NHS bodies, local councils, the voluntary and community sector and Healthwatch to develop the health and care strategy for our area.
