ALTHOUGH ICSs ARE NOW IN PLACE, CAMPAIGNERS STILL NEED TO ACT
Each ICS Board has to produce a Constitution, shaped and approved by NHS England. This gives some indication of the stance an ICB will take on matters such as the provision of emergency services to people not viewed as resident within the ICS; whether it will allow representatives of private companies on its Partnership Board; or whether it will enable the public to attend and put forward questions at ICS meetings, and view the minutes of meetings.
