Background
NHS England updated the guidance for Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) on December 22, 2023. The updated guidance for 2024/25 highlights the development or revision of annual Joint Forward Plans (JFPs) as shared delivery plans aligning with Integrated Care System’s Five-Year Integrated Care Strategies.
These plans show how Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and their partners will do their jobs for the next five years, focusing on the well-being of staff, people, and communities.
Even though we expect to keep our priorities from our first Joint Forward Plan, published in 2023, this annual review enables us to make changes based on any new information and priorities.
Our aim is to look at and update the plan, where needed, for the 2024/25 financial year. We'll discuss any changes with local health and wellbeing boards, partners, stakeholders, the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership Board, and NHS England.
This web page will be updated with new meeting dates of where we have consulted on the development of our NHS Joint Forward Plan refresh for 2024/2025
Concise Impact Assessment
This comprehensive impact assessment has been produced to support the work of our integrated care strategy and the joint forward plan. Individual programmes of work will develop more detailed equality impact assessments to ensure people and communities are fully considered in the production of the plans.
