To help achieve this, ICBs will work together in clusters, covering larger areas.<\/p>\n<p>NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB has now clustered with NHS Gloucestershire ICB. Both ICBs will continue to be statutory bodies and legal entities for now but will work together in partnership.<\/p>\n<p>A single Chair and Chief Executive for the cluster were appointed in September 2025 and work is ongoing to develop a single executive team.<\/p>\n<p>Updates will be published to our news section and listed below.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\r\n  <\/section><\/div><!-- .assembler_text-module.assembler_module.assembler_text-module_1.assembler_module_1..transparent --><div class=\"assembler_text-module assembler_module assembler_text-module_2 assembler_module_2  transparent\"><a tabindex=\"-1\" title=\"Section titled module-2\" id=\"module-2\" href=\"https:\/\/bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/39230\/#module-2\" class=\"anchor\"><span class=\"hidden\">Section titled module-2<\/span><\/a><!-- Template found for text-module - Template: template-text - Matched: _only --><section class=\"w-full mx-auto max-w-content pt-3 sm:pt-6 pb-3 sm:pb-6\">\r\n  <div class=\"entry-content w-full !px-0 max-w-small\">\r\n        <h2>Latest updates<\/h2>\n<p>We will provide further developments on our website on a regular basis.
