165: After Clause 27, insert the following new Clause—
“Place based integrated care and Primary Care Commissioning Boards
(1) Each place based integrated care board is to be established by regulations made by the Secretary of State for an area within an integrated care board.
(2) An order establishing a place based integrated care board must provide for the constitution of the board.
(3) Before making, varying or revoking an order under this section, the Secretary of State must consult—
(a) the integrated care board in which the place based integrated care committee is intended to operate;
(b) the relevant local authority or local authorities;
(c) the integrated care partnership in which the place based integrated care committee is intended to operate;
(d) the local healthwatch organisations whose areas coincide with or fall wholly or partly within the proposed area of the place based integrated care board; and
(e) members of the public living within the proposed area of the place based integrated care board.
(4) The place based integrated care board may arrange under a scheme of delegation from the integrated care board for the provision of such services or facilities it considers appropriate for the purposes of the health service that relate to securing the improvement—
(a) in the physical and mental health of the people for whom it has responsibility, or
(b) in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment in these people.
(5) In imposing financial requirements on integrated care boards under Section 223GB of the National Health Service Act 2006, NHS England may give additional directions in respect of placed based integrated care committees.
(6) Integrated care boards may give place based integrated care board directions as to any of the functions to which it has given delegated functions.
(7) The Schedule to the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 (bodies to which that Act applies) shall be amended as follows.
(8) After paragraph 1(k), there shall be added the following sub-paragraph—
“(l) Place Based Integrated Care Boards.””
Member’s explanatory statement
It’s likely that ICBs will set up place based entities which may take many of the key commissioning decisions at the local/Constituency level. This amendment puts place based integrated boards on a statutory basis and subject to Parliamentary oversight and meeting in public.
