The NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board (ICB) was established on 1 July 2022, in line with the Health and Care Act 2022. An ICB is a statutory NHS organisation responsible for planning to meet the health needs of the local population, managing the NHS budget and arranging for the provision of health services.
NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board (ICB) has oversight of the local health system, coordinating and planning in a way that improves population health and reduces inequalities.
While Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System brings together health and care partners to deliver joined up care, NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB is the statutory organisation bringing the NHS together locally to improve population health and establish shared strategic priorities within the NHS, within the local area.
The ICB is responsible for delivery against all health elements of the system health and care strategy, which will be agreed by the Integrated Care Partnership for Birmingham and Solihull.
