A statement from North West London and North Central London Integrated Care Boards
North West London and North Central London Integrated Care Boards are in discussions as to whether merging the two organisations would be viable. No decisions have been made on this but we have agreed to develop a business case for our boards to consider.
"Any decision to merge would be made by our respective Boards and would be made in the interest of our patients and residents.
Our Boards will consider an options appraisal, including the option of merging.
Our joint top priority is to improve the health and wellbeing of our local populations and to deliver the best possible services for our local communities.
Any decision on merging would need to ensure we can continue to effectively work locally with providers and partners for the benefits of circa 4.5m local residents in North London, whilst being able to maximise the opportunities and benefits for innovation and efficiencies of scale."
