Respondent: Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board

Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) would wish to highlight that the term health should not be seen as a closed list restricted to simply primary care infrastructure (GPs) as may be the case by some audiences.

To deliver the joined-up support required to meet the needs of the local population, it should be noted that infrastructural requirements can span across partner services (including community, voluntary and secondary care) and therefore the term health should be understood in this context from both a policy and decision-making perspective.
