NHS Cheshire and Merseyside, the integrated care board (ICB) for the region, is responsible for planning NHS services for the population, which includes the care you receive at your GP practice, local pharmacy, NHS dentist, NHS opticians, or at hospital.
The ICB serve a population of over 2.7m people across:
Working alongside the wider integrated care partnership, ICBs have four key aims:
- Improve outcomes in population health and healthcare
- Tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access
- Enhance productivity and value for money
- Help the NHS support broader social and economic development
To support their vision, local health and care services are working together, as equal partners, to support seamless, person centred care and tackle health inequalities by improving the lives of the poorest fastest.
