Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care System - Home page

The Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care System, (ICS) plans and delivers health and social care services to just over 1.6 million people living in Hertfordshire and Essex, in 13 district and borough council areas. The system brings together a wide range of organisations, committed to a shared vision of working together to improve the health and wellbeing of the people who live in our area.  

Our priorities are to: give every child the best start in life, support our communities and places to be healthy and sustainable, support our residents to maintain healthy lifestyles, enable our residents to age well and support people living with dementia, improve support to people and families living with life-long conditions, long term health conditions and physical disabilities, and improve our residents’ mental health and outcomes for those with learning disabilities and autism.  You can read more about our plans in our Integrated Care Strategy.
