The South East London ICB is the NHS management unit of the ICS. It is accountable both to NHS England and to the South East London Integrated Care Partnership (ICP). The ICS exists to deliver four core purposes:

o Improve outcomes in South East London population health and health and care serviceso Tackle inequalities in outcomes, experience and access suffered by the residents of South East Londono Enhance productivity and value for money in the use of health and care resources in South East Londono Help the NHS support broader social and economic development in South East London.

The ICS is not an intermediate management tier and fundamental to the operating model of the ICS are three fundamental principles:

o Partnership: We are a partnership of sovereign bodies coming together to achieve something greater than the sum of the partners. All partners have a voice and all partners have responsibility.o Subsidiarity: We work on the basis of subsidiarity. This means issues and decisions should be dealt at the most local level consistent with their effective resolution.o Accountability: We value both supporting each other and being held to account by each other and our wider partners.
