As part of the NHS Oversight Framework, a Patient and Community Engagement Indicator was used by NHS England to assess how CCGs met their statutory duty to involve the public.

The new Integrated Care Boards will also be assessed on their duties to involve and how they implement the 2022 statutory guidance on working with people and communities. This will form part of the new System Oversight Framework for 2022/23. NHS England will provide further information here about the assessment process as it is developed.
