Annual assessment of integrated care boards (ICBs)

Under the terms of the NHS Act 2006 (as amended by the Health and Care Act 2022), NHS England is required to undertake an annual assessment of each ICB in respect of each financial year and publish a summary of these assessments.

Guidance for completing the 2024/25 assessments sets out the areas that annual assessments cover as well as information on timing and process. Individual assessments are shared with the relevant integrated care board (ICB) chairs who are asked to consider publishing these alongside their organisation’s annual reports and accounts.
