Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered on 7th October 2022.
Andrew Gwynne
Shadow Minister (Health and Social Care)
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she plans to take to reduce regional health inequalities.
Dr Caroline Johnson
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
Each Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) is required to write an integrated care strategy by December 2022 that sets out how the assessed local needs can be met through the Integrated Care Board, partner local authorities or NHS England. This must include clear plans to reduce disparities in health access, experience and outcomes. The Department regional teams are working with ICPs to ensure that plans are comprehensive, ambitious and are driven by the evidence on local need.
