Humber and North Yorkshire
Integrated Care System
Integrated care systems (ICSs) are new partnerships between the organisations that meet health and care needs across an area, to coordinate services and to plan in a way that improves population health and reduces inequalities between different groups.
Integrated care is about giving people the support they need, joined up across local councils, the NHS, and other partners. It removes traditional divisions between hospitals and family doctors, between physical and mental health, and between NHS and council services. In the past, these divisions have meant that too many people experienced disjointed care.
In our area, the ICS is the Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership which covers the areas of East Riding of Yorkshire, Hull, North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, Scarborough and Ryedale, and Vale of York.
