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. This proposed new short-term contract will allow sufficient time for the ICB to undertake a robust and complete review of commissioning plans for systems admission avoidance whilst ensuring continuity of service for our patients.
