NHS South East London (SEL) ICB
NHS South East London ICB's structural changes are raising concerns about safeguarding oversight and continuing healthcare packages.
In October 2026, Kingston upon Thames' Health Overview and Scrutiny Panel heard worries about safeguarding oversight and continuing healthcare packages following structural changes within NHS South East London (SEL) Integrated Care Board. The panel was informed that NHS SEL and NHS South West London ICBs have established joint executive leadership and shared functions.
These structural changes, prompted by the NHS Modernisation Bill, aim to reduce duplication and strengthen services. While no acute or community services for Kingston residents have been reduced or cut, concerns about the implications of the restructured ICB remain.
