The three Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) responsible for commissioning NHS services across Essex will hold their first joint public meeting on Thursday 20 November 2025 at 2pm.

The Essex Joint Committee has been established as part of the transition towards creating a proposed single Essex Integrated Care Board from April 2026. The three ICBs that form the committee are:

- NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board
- NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board
- NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board

The meeting will focus on transitional governance arrangements, aligning priorities across the county, and preparing for the proposed establishment of a new ICB.

Members of the public are welcome to attend and observe the proceedings. If you would like to attend please register here: https://www.midandsouthessex.ics.nhs.uk/events/essex-joint-committee/.

You can also watch the meeting live on YouTube.

It's time for you to have your say in our Maternity Antenatal Education Survey 🤰

There were about 6,400 births in mid and south Essex between June and December 2024, but only 20% of expectant parents take antenatal education... we want to know why.

Please take a few minutes to complete a short survey to help us understand what’s working well, where improvements can be made, and how we can make services more accessible and inclusive for families.
