Legal Justification

The NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (HWE ICB) was incorporated on 1st July 2022 and includes the three previous clinical commissioning groups. Since the HWE ICB was incorporated, we have been working to review services across each 'place' to ensure that there is equity of access for our patients across the broader ICB area. The APMS contract for Sollershott Surgery is due to expire on 31st December 2023. A local expression of interest exercise was undertaken and following this and options appraisal was taken to Primary Care Commissioning Committee for decision. The option of Birchwood Surgery merging with Sollershott Surgery was agreed and as a result the ICB have requested that the APMS contract with Sollershott is extended for 3 months until 31st March 2024 (with the merger to take place on 1st April 2024).
