2. The breakdown of this budget by business area or program.
3. The methods or tools you are using to evaluate the performance and outcomes of the services that patients receive as a result of the utilisation of this budget.

Good morning Ron Sheldrick
Thank you for your email.
May we seek the following clarification?
• Q1 – is this asking for the total operating budget for the ICB or only
budgets related to patient treatment? The operating budget covers all
of the ICB’s activity including staffing etc. See the 2022/23 Annual
Report at the following link for examples [1]Documents | Integrated
Care Northamptonshire (icnorthamptonshire.org.uk)
• Q2 – business area or program would be different categories. Please
clarify if this is seeking a budget for each Directorate – see the
ICB’s organogram at the following link for the structure [2]Documents
| Integrated Care Northamptonshire (icnorthamptonshire.org.uk)
• Q3 – as 2, please clarify if this is seeking information regarding the
methods used for each Directorate
• Q4 – please clarify what recorded information this question is
seeking.
Once clarified we can progress a request for information.
Kind regards
