The Bill will ensure that duties previously applied to clinical commissioning groups to reduce health inequalities will also apply to the newly formed integrated care boards (ICBs). The reforms will place a greater emphasis on population health outcomes and health inequalities. NHS England will continue to have a national level duty and ICBs will tackle health inequalities over a larger area, working with a range of partners including local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 11/10/2021 14:46:12 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup previous answer version 21112 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
