Liberal Democrat — North Shropshire

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether NHS England has (a) issued and (b) waived guidance to integrated care boards on redundancy policies since 1 April 2025.

Answer

Karin Smyth
NHS England expects integrated care boards (ICBs) to manage any change programmes within their local policies. Where two or more ICBs come together, we will expect them to apply a consistent change policy approach, as agreed with local unions.
