Greater Manchester Integrated Care System (ICS)

In February 2021 the Government announced a number of new measures as part of a proposed Health and Care Bill, including the creation of statutory Integrated Care Systems(ICSs).

In Greater Manchester we have been working as an ICS for the last five years - with strong working partnerships between health and social care and the voluntary sector.

The creation of a statutory ICS has formalised the arrangementswe have in place and mark another positive step in our journey, which started with the health and care devolution deal in 2015.

The statutory ICS includes a new ICS NHS Body and Health and Care Partnership Board.
