Our Board
Our Board is accountable for the decision making of the organisation.
Cluster Board Meetings
Together with NHS Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW) ICB and NHS Dorset ICB, NHS Somerset ICB has formed a joint committee, the Cluster Board.
The Cluster Board meets every other month in public. For information about how to ask the Cluster Board a question, watch its meetings, or access its meeting papers, please visit the Cluster Board pages.
Cluster Board papers can be found on the ICB documents and reports page under the meeting agendas and papers folder.
The NHS Somerset ICB Board will now meet only infrequently. Its meeting dates and papers will be published on the NHS Somerset Board meetings and papers page.
