Worries about safeguarding oversight and continuing care have been raised following structural changes to the NHS South West London Integrated Care Board.
Kingston upon Thames councillors heard in October 2026 about worries over safeguarding oversight and continuing healthcare packages following structural changes within the NHS South West London Integrated Care Board. The panel was informed that NHS South West London and NHS South East London ICBs have established joint executive leadership and shared functions.
The Chief Nurse and Quality Officer is a senior executive responsible for nursing standards, quality of care, and safeguarding strategy within the ICB. These structural changes, driven by the NHS Modernisation Bill, aim to reduce duplication, though concerns about implications remain.
