North West London Integrated Care Board (ICB)
The North West London Integrated Care Board is currently focusing on its merger and standardising health services across the region.
The North West London Integrated Care Board (ICB) is undergoing a significant merger with the North London ICB, set to create a single organisation responsible for strategic commissioning across 13 London boroughs from April 2026. Kensington and Chelsea's Adult Social Care & Health Select Committee examined the potential effects of this consolidation in November 2025, seeking to understand its implications for local authorities and residents.
Councils are also discussing the ICB's evolving role as a strategic commissioner, as part of the 'Model ICB' guidance. Camden Council's Health and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee discussed in December 2025 how the NHS 10-Year Plan aims to shift healthcare towards prevention and community-based care, with the ICB central to this modernisation. Separately, the North West London Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee received an update in November 2025 on efforts to standardise special school nursing across the region.
The North West London Integrated Care Board is a statutory body responsible for planning and delivering integrated health and care services for its local population. No upcoming meetings with this topic on the agenda have been supplied.
