The model region blueprint: what you need to know
The model region blueprint sets out a high-level vision for the future role of NHS regions within a redesigned and streamlined national centre. It forms a key part of the new NHS operating model and the delivery of the 10 Year Health Plan. NHS England intends for the blueprint to support integrated care boards (ICBs) as they implement the model ICB, to clarify the future operating model and reduce the burden that central bodies place on systems and providers.
