The Integrated Care Board (ICB) has the responsibility to decide what health services are needed in Surrey and Sussex and set out how they'll be provided, making sure hospitals, primary care, and other services work together, rather than in silos, for the benefit of everyone in the community. NHS Surrey Heartlands and Sussex ICB achieve this by working in partnership with local health and care organisations, staff, patients, carers, families and the public, to support three million people across Surrey and Sussex to live healthier lives.

Together, we have an ambitious vision for improving health and care services across Surrey and Sussex. We are working to:

• Improve health and care outcomes for everyone, with a focus on preventing ill health and

proactive care.

• Tackle inequalities to reduce unfair gaps in access, experience, and outcomes.
• Get better value from our services by enhancing productivity and value for money.
• Support local communities to grow and thrive through social and economic development.

We also work with NHS trusts and organisations which deliver healthcare services through developing Provider Collaboratives to improve healthcare pathways, so local people experience better care and outcomes.
