We are investing an additional £3.3 billion in 2023/24 and 2024/25 to support the National Health Service in England, with £2.8 billion and £4.7 billion for adult social care over the next two years. Integrated care boards (ICBs) will determine how these resources will be distributed to address local priorities. To support transition to the new ICBs from the predecessor clinical commissioning group (CCG) structure, NHS England has disaggregated allocations to CCG level, in line with the share of the weighted population of the ICB.
