The NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board became a statutory organisation on 1 July 2022.
The Integrated Care Partnership is a joint Committee of the Integrated Care Board and the four local Councils. It is chaired by a local authority elected member. The Integrated Care Partnership has core members from NHS organisations, councils, GPs, Healthwatch and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations.
The Integrated Care Partnership Joint Committee meets on a quarterly basis and the meetings are held in public. It will also hold workshops on issues that affect our system and will invite experts and interested parties to these meetings.
Integrated care strategy
The Integrated Care Partnership is responsible for the development and agreement of the Integrated Care Strategy for Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes. The Health and Wellbeing strategies from each of the Council boroughs and population health information will be used as a basis for the strategy.
