NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB) is the local NHS organisation that plans and oversees how NHS money is spent and makes sure health services work well and are of high quality.

The ICB’s role is to join up health and care services, improve health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities.

The budget is set by NHS England.

The Board is directly responsible for spending the money allocated by the NHS for the area, and for the satisfactory performance of health services within its Integrated Care System.
