HPIG and the Health and Care Bill

The Health and Care Bill was introduced to Parliament in July 2021 and will place Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) on a statutory footing. ICSs are the structures through which NHS organisations, in partnership with local authorities, will take joint responsibility for improving the health and wellbeing of the population they serve, including children and young people.

The Health Policy Influencing Group (HPIG) is leading the children’s sector’s activity on the Health and Care Bill, working with civil servants and parliamentarians to push for a greater focus on babies, children and young people in the legislation and supporting guidance.
