About us
The NHS Suffolk and North-East Essex Integrated Care Board
(ICB) plans and buys healthcare services for our population. This function is
commonly referred to as commissioning.
To do this, we work within a budget of around
£1.5 billion, which is set by NHS England, and work closely with local
government and the NHS providers in our area. Our performance is judged by how
well our local health and care system as a whole is working, including the
health outcomes of our communities.
The ICB has delegated some authority to the three
health and wellbeing alliances that operate in Suffolk and North-East Essex to
act on its behalf. This is to ensure that the needs of smaller, local areas are
addressed.
The ICB remains accountable for all of its functions, including
those it has delegated.
Local residents have a big role to play in the
operation of the ICB. We rely on the experiences and perspectives of our
communities to help shape our decision-making.
