Commission proposes third option on integrated care
The Health Devolution Commission (HDC) has called for a third health and prosperity model of Integrated Care Systems.
In its submission to the NHSE consultation, HDC welcomes the proposals as a major step forward towards its vision of comprehensive health devolution and collaborative ways of working .
However it also believes there is a strong case for going further and giving local areas more choice about the nature of their local system in order to deliver better NHS and social care services, and build healthier and more prosperous communities .
Andy Burham, co-chair of the HDC, mayor of Greater Manchester and former health secretary, said: We must be radical in how we improve the system and build on where local partnerships are already working. That’s why we are proposing a third ‘Health and Prosperity’ model of Integrated Care System bodies. This would extend the two options being proposed and give more autonomy

Oxfordshire councillors will join efforts to scrutinise a new health management group. PEOPLE using Oxfordshire’s hospitals, GP surgeries and even care homes will have a voice at the table as health and care is set to be managed in a new way. A huge new organisation has been set up to manage health and care across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and West Berkshire which will start its job on April 1 next year. This is part of a move to combine management structures across the NHS in England into regional groups called Integrated Care Systems. To make sure that managers are doing their job properly, a group of councillors from all three areas will sit on a panel called a health overview and scrutiny committee to question health and care decision makers at least twice a year.
WHILE news of the Covid-19 vaccine is welcome, the people of the North-East are being urged to keep doing their bit to bring down coronavirus infection rates, with local leaders warning that rollout of the newly approved vaccine “will not happen overnight”. The vaccination of high-risk groups is set to begin this week, after MHRA approved the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for use. According to an NHS presentation seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Newcastle s Royal Victoria Infirmary will be among the first in the country to be used as a vaccine hub. Care home residents and staff are expected to be the first people to receive the vaccine, which requires two doses, followed by people aged over 80 and frontline healthcare workers.
