The Care Quality Commission (CQC) carried out a series of coordinated inspections from March to May across the West Yorkshire integrated care system, also including Wakefield, Dewsbury, Airedale and Leeds.
Integrated care systems (ICS) are new partnerships between organisations involved in health and care across an area. Integrated care boards (ICB) have been formed across the country to coordinate services to improve people’s health and care, replacing Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).
During these inspections, the CQC found services were under continued pressure and people experienced difficulties accessing urgent and emergency care. Leaders across West Yorkshire were working together to find opportunities to improve people’s experiences when using these services.
