Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 June 2026

Debate

Integrated Care Boards: Budgets

Contribution

My Lords, Sir Chris Whitty produced a report on coastal health that exposed deep and persistent health inequalities in many of our coastal communities. Coastal communities, about 55 towns, make up nearly 20% of the UK population. Five years later, can the Minister tell the House what has changed as a result of that report? How will integrated care boards be encouraged to invest in prevention and community-based services in those areas? They are big enough to have problems but not big enough to have the infrastructure surrounding them.
