WHAT'S AN ICS REGION?

INTEGRATED CARE SYSTEM — THE NHS'S REGIONAL PLANNING GEOGRAPHY IN ENGLAND, INTRODUCED UNDER THE HEALTH AND CARE ACT 2022. 42 ICSS COVER ENGLAND, EACH BRINGING TOGETHER NHS PROVIDERS, GP PRACTICES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO PLAN AND FUND CARE FOR A DEFINED POPULATION. THIS IS THE SAME 42-REGION GEOGRAPHY NHS ENGLAND DIGITAL'S OWN CPWS VACANCY-RATE SOURCE PUBLISHES AT — THE VACANCY RATE ON THIS PAGE IS BROKEN DOWN BY ICS REGION THROUGHOUT.

VACANT FULL-TIME-EQUIVALENT POSTS AS A SHARE OF FUNDED FTE, PER NHS ENGLAND DIGITAL'S OWN METHODOLOGY. WHO NHWA 5-07 — SAME INDICATOR CATEGORY, NOT THE SAME FORMULA: WHO'S OWN DEFINITION ADDITIONALLY REQUIRES A POST TO BE UNFILLED SIX MONTHS OR MORE UNDER ACTIVE RECRUITMENT, WHICH THIS FIGURE DOES NOT. NO ENGLAND-WIDE HEADLINE IS SHOWN — THE ARTEFACT DOES NOT CARRY WHAT A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED NATIONAL FIGURE WOULD NEED.
