The Integrated Care Board (ICB), Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP) and Dorset Council have established a joint committee in accordance with section 116ZA of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 to be known as the Dorset Integrated Care Partnership (ICP).

Cecilia Bufton
Cecilia BuftonIntegrated Care Partnership Chair

Currently working as Board Chair for Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), a partnership between local authorities and local private sector businesses, Cecilia has learned a great deal about the needs, wants and opportunities for people, communities, and businesses in the county. Cecilia’s most recent executive role was Group Product Marketing Director at Tunstall Healthcare Group (2013 – 2016) responsible for global business strategy, marketing and sales of Telehealth products and services. 

Prior to that she was the VP, Global Hospital Business for Linde Healthcare (2006 – 2012). Since 2016 she has been a freelance Business Advisor, specialising in strategic marketing, product innovation and business development; and has coupled this with NED roles; Trustee (since 2017) and Chair (since September 2020) of the Macular Society; Chair of Plant Heritage (since 2017); as a Trustee of the Talbot Village Trust (since 2022).

“An Integrated Care Board gives Dorset the opportunity to change the way we deliver health and care. Dorset is at the vanguard of integrating health and care data and now has both a pressing need and the real desire to redesign the way we support people to maintain health, creating a true ‘health service’. For Dorset, with its older population, we have the chance to develop and test new systems and ways of working that will benefit the rest of the UK as their populations age.”

Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) meetings – How to ask a question

If you’d like to ask our ICP a pre-submitted question, you can do so under Part 1 of the meeting.

It is essential that sufficient time remains for the conduct of normal ICP business and the opportunity for questions will be time limited.

Questions should be succinct and relevant to the business of NHS Dorset Integrated Care Partnership (ICP).

If a question is particularly complex, it may be necessary to provide a general response to the question at the meeting with a more detailed response given in writing following the meeting.

In order to respond as fully as possible, we ask that questions be submitted to the Corporate Governance Team no later than three working days prior to the meeting.

The Chair will read out any pre-submitted questions and associated response, both of which will be recorded in the ICP minutes and published on the website with the papers for the next ICP meeting.

If you are unable to attend the meeting and the timescale in seeing the response will cause an issue, please contact the Corporate Governance Team.

Following the meeting, any questions and response not able to be raised or answered in full at the meeting will be put on a Q&A section on this page.

The Chair reserves the right to refuse any written question that is:

  • Confidential or sensitive

  • An individual complaint or matter relating to an individual’s healthcare

  • Deemed to be overly political, defamatory or vexatious

  • Substantially the same as a question that has previously been answered

If you would like further information, please contact the Corporate Governance Office.
