	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>Integrated Care Organisations’ is not a term currently used by NHS England, so the answer below refers to Integrated Care Providers.</p><p> </p><p>‘Integrated Care Provider’ (ICP) is a term used to describe a provider that is responsible for the integrated provision of general practice, wider National Health Service and potentially local authority services, which enters into an ICP contract with the commissioner(s) of those services. The ICP would be a ‘lead’ provider organisation, and so would be contractually responsible for delivering integrated services for local people. An ICP is not a new type of legal entity, but simply the name for a provider organisation awarded an ICP contract. The ICP contract is itself a variant of the generic NHS Standard Contract (which is already used to commission a broad range of NHS services) and has been specifically designed to enable integration through a single contract that could be used to commission both primary medical services and other health and care services.</p><p> </p><p>There are not yet any ICPs in place in England. However, NHS England plans to study the effects of the first ICP contracts that come into being and share learning with others that may follow. Where a clinical commissioning group (CCG) proposes to use the ICP contract in future, proposals will be subject to successful completion of the Integrated Support and Assurance Process, managed by NHS England and NHS Improvement, before the ICP Contract is awarded.</p><p> </p><p>Further information about ICPs is available in NHS England’s package of consultation materials and response to consultation, which are available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/consultation/proposed-contracting-arrangements-for-icps/" target="_blank">https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/consultation/proposed-contracting-arrangements-for-icps/</a></p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 10/04/2019 13:43:36 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

A robust options appraisal process and due diligence process was undertaken by Public Health England and NHS England to determine the optimum number of laboratories required to provide HPV primary screening. This process resulted in the procurement of nine laboratories.</p><p> </p><p>The procurement process involved robust assessment of all bids received for these services and NHS England is in the process of finalising this stage in the procurement. It is planned that contract awards arising from the procurement process will be announced this month (April 2019).</p><p> </p><p>The National Health Service will remain the primary provider for cervical cytology screening in England and cervical screening remains part of the General Medical Services contract.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 12/04/2019 11:26:07 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
