Working with the NHS: Cheshire West Place

Joining up health and care in Cheshire West

Cheshire West ‘Place’ is one of nine places within the Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care System (ICS). The ICS’s purpose is to ensure that the people of Cheshire and Merseyside become healthier and continue to have access to safe, good quality and sustainable services.

The Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) is responsible for the day to day running of the NHS in Cheshire and Merseyside, including planning, and buying healthcare services. The ICB arranges for some of its functions to be delivered and decisions about NHS funding to be made in its nine Places, through Place-Based Partnerships. The ICB is accountable for NHS resources deployed at Place.

The Integrated Care Partnership provides a forum for NHS leaders and local authorities to come together as equal partners alongside other stakeholders from across Cheshire and Merseyside. The Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership has generated an integrated care strategy to improve health and care outcomes.
