All Integrated Care Boards were instructed to cut their own expenditure by 30% in 2024 (this doesn't apply to the providers - hospitals, trusts, GP, dental etc practices that they supervise).
They published their new operating model with reduced staffing in September 2024.
An important change is that there are no longer place directors for the 3 places (Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire West). Instead 3 individual board members are assigned to represent the 3 places. Dr Ben Riley, the newly appointed Chief Medical Officer for BOB will represent the interests of Berkshire West on the BOB ICB. This also increases the importance of the place partnerships in representing local voices.
