The new Thames Valley Integrated Care Board, which will be formally launched in April 2026 and will serve people across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
The new ICB will cover about 2.5m people and control a £5.6bn budget.
Mr Broughton said the new ICB would be a “smaller team” than is currently in place, which was “in keeping with the fact that we have to reduce our running costs significantly”.
He said that he did not underestimate the challenge ahead to create the new ICB, but that the creation of the new board “makes sense.”
“I do think there is a huge amount of potential for the new Thames Valley ICB.”
“The very fact that we will be covering geography that makes sense, that people recognise, that is coterminous [has the same boundaries] with a number of other geographies, will enable us to have a good deal more traction than perhaps we have had historically,” he said.
