Decision details

Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge have applied to carry out pilot work to see whether it is possible to create an Accountable Care Organisation across the three boroughs. The submission is being considered as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review and the report will provide the Health and Wellbeing Board with information on whether the bid has been successful, as well as some of the implications coming out of the Comprehensive Spending Review.

The Board noted:

(i)  The current position in regards to the bid to set up a potential pilot Accountable Care Organisation and that a programme management office had been set up in Care City to develop an outline business case in preparation for the decision in the New Year; and

(ii)  If the bid was successful, there would be extensive consultation undertaken on the case for change and development of the ACO.
