HFMA response / HFMA response to the CQC consultation on regulatory fees for integrated care system assessments
The HFMA has responded to CQC’s consultation on regulatory fees for integrated care system assessments.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has a new duty to carry out an independent review and performance assessment of integrated care systems (ICSs). CQC reviews will focus on the following three Secretary of State priority areas:
- leadership
- integration
- quality and safety.
In the CQC’s proposed approach, each integrated care board (ICB) will pay an annual regulatory fee to the CQC for assessing integrated care systems.
While the HFMA recognises that the CQC will incur costs to carry out the independent review and performance assessment of ICSs, as introduced by the Health and Care Act 2022, we do not agree with the proposal to charge ICBs for these costs.
