Developments in forming a Greater Manchester statutory integrated care system Stakeholder briefing note 16th May 2022 Introduction Welcome to the latest update regarding Greater Manchester’s ongoing transition to a statutory integrated care system from 1 July 2022. We have made vital progress since the last briefing note in April; details of which are included in this update. There are also a few words from the newly appointed chief executive officer designate of NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care, Mark Fisher.

Welcome from Mark Fisher – designate chief executive It’s now just a few weeks until our new organisation – NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care – will formally come into being. There’s a great deal of work going on behind the scenes to make sure everything’s ready for the 1st of July and this is alongside everyone’s usual workloads. This is an exciting new era for Greater Manchester and I’m proud to be a part of it. I’m currently recruiting my executive team, some of whom have featured in these updates, and I also look forward to working with our locality place-based leads who will soon be in post.

NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care builds on a strong history of partnership working, most notably after the devolution of health and social care in 2015. Our priorities – to tackle health inequalities and deliver high quality NHS and care services – may sound familiar to many. Our new statutory organisation will bring together colleagues working at neighbourhood, locality, and city region level into closer collaboration than ever before. This will allow us to step up our efforts to improve health and wellbeing for the benefit of the people of Greater Manchester and I look forward to working more closely with our stakeholders to achieve this as I take up my post on July 1. Best wishes, Mark Health and Care Act 2022 - Royal Assent Integrated care systems and partnerships are being set up across the country to help organisations work better with the public to keep everyone healthier; plan and deliver health services more effectively; make sure everyone is treated equally and fairly; help the NHS become as efficient as possible, and also help it contribute to the wider economy. The Health and Care Act 2022, which includes plans to establish Integrated Care Systems (ICS) on a statutory footing as of 1 July 2022, has completed the parliamentary process and is now law after it received Royal Assent on 28 April.
