New website for ‘cluster’ joint committee

NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly and NHS Devon have launched a new website for the new ‘cluster’ joint committee, the South West Peninsula Board.

The site contains information about Board members, meeting dates and papers, and stakeholder updates.

Both NHS Devon and NHS Cornwall and Isle of Scilly’s websites will continue to operate as normal, maintaining all existing information and content.

The joint working arrangements were established in September 2025, as part of national NHS reforms to reduce the running costs of integrated care boards (ICBs).

This requires some ICBs with smaller populations – including NHS Devon and NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly – to work more closely with other ICBs in a ‘cluster’.

‘Clustering’ means that, although both individual ICBs will continue to exist, they will work as one – with a single Board, leadership team and staffing structure.
