target="_blank">https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/consultation/proposed-contracting-arrangements-for-icps/</a></p><p>
</p><p>The consultation documents provide more detail about the NHS England’s current
proposals for ICPs, including:</p><p>- An overview of integrated budgets; and</p><p>-
A summary of the types of organisations that might hold the proposed ICP Contract.</p><p>
</p><p>The draft ICP Contract has been designed to enable a more collaborative, integrated
model of care to be delivered, focusing on prevention.</p><p> </p><p>The ICP proposals
would do nothing to change the level of resources available in local areas, and any
decision to award a new contract or change existing contracts would be for local commissioners
following full engagement with patients, the public and existing providers.</p>
