223AApplication of section 223 to integrated care boards

Section 223 applies in relation to an integrated care board as it applies in relation to NHS England.

But the powers conferred by that section are exercisable by an integrated care board only for the purpose of securing improvement—

a

in the physical and mental health of the group of people for whom it has core responsibility (see section 14Z31), or

b

in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness in such people.
