Lancashire Place-Based Partnership leadership update

Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) would like to inform our colleagues in partner organisations about interim arrangements for the ICB's leadership within our places and the plan to support these going forward.
​
Currently, there is a vacancy for the director of health and care integration (DHCI) post for Lancashire, following the retirement of Louise Taylor late last year. We are very grateful to Dr. Sakthi Karunanithi for supporting the ICB for Lancashire place and for leadership in shaping place arrangements. 

​The ICB, along with other parts of the NHS, is facing significant change due to the NHS reforms proposed by the Government. The focus in and with each of our places remains very important, and it is hoped that our place teams will continue to deliver their excellent work.
The directors of health and care integration have been providing leadership across the system, leveraging their specific skill-sets and successful schemes within their places for wider benefits across the Lancashire and South Cumbria footprint.
In line with this approach and to support the Lancashire place team, Jane Scattergood will provide interim leadership to the Lancashire place along with South Cumbria.

We are confident in the strong group of leaders in our place teams, who will continue to provide ongoing day-to-day leadership in their places. Jane and the place teams will continue to be supported by Professor Craig Harris and his leadership team within the ICB commissioning and operations directorate.
