Integrated care board
One of the ways we bring local place leaders from Bradford District and Craven, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield NHS organisations, councils and communities closer together is via the integrated care board. This is so we can strengthen joint working arrangements between all organisations involved - and most importantly to further improve health and care for the 2.4 million people living across the area.
The creation of the board is consistent with our constitution, which is like a memorandum of understanding.
Board meetings are held in public every two months and are available to view live on our website.
Integrated care board committees
To support the integrated care board and to provide assurance that our health and care system is working well, we have established the following committees:
Place committees
Each place-based partnership will have an integrated care board committee to make decisions, similar to the West Yorkshire integrated care board. These committees will be made up of local health and care leaders, and they will also include independent people who do not work for health and care organisations.
Information about these committees can be found on the place-based partnership websites:
Collaborative forums
Several collaborative groups support our decision making, these are made up health and leaders across our area. These include the Partnership’s system leadership executive, which brings together the senior leaders from across our health and care system. The clinical forum and finance forum ensure that all decisions are informed by clinical and finance expertise.
