<p>The Health and Care Act 2022 set up systems and structures to reform how health
and adult social care work together by putting partnership at the heart of planning.
Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for producing a five year joint forward
plan with their partner trusts, foundation trusts, local authorities and other members.
This plan should have regard to the integrated care strategy produced by the integrated
care partnership (ICP). We are aware of 35 integrated care strategies that have been
produced by ICPs in England.</p><p>We committed in the integration white paper ‘joining
up care for people and places’ to review, and where necessary simplify, pooled budget
arrangements to promote further integrated funding arrangements. This review is underway.</p><p>In
July 2022 statutory integrated care systems (ICS) Strategy Guidance recommended ICSs
take forward joint workforce planning with Local Authorities as a next step to integrated
workforces.</p>
