This is the Phase 1 Interim report for the ongoing Post Implementation Review of the Health and Care Act 2022 project (2023-2026). It aims to establish an evidence base concerning the development of collaboration in ICSs, identify appropriate metrics for assessing the impact and outcomes of this collaboration, disseminate findings to support local ICS practice, and support Ministers and policymakers with future policy. It represents the findings from independent research commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care and funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Policy Research Programme (Ref: PRP ST-01-49). The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Policy Research Programme, NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care.
