Integrated Care Board members
Our Board is the senior decision making forum for the ICB and is collectively accountable for the performance of the ICB’s functions.
In response to the national requirement to streamline ICBs across England, the six ICBs in the East of England put forward plans to NHS England in May 2025 to work collaboratively and form three new larger ICBs from April 2026. ICBs across the region are starting to come together under shared Chairs, Chief Executives and executive teams in preparation for that move.
