S.I. 2012/2996. Under the Health and Care Act 2022, the NHS Commissioning Board was renamed NHS England (section 1) and NHS England was required to establish integrated care boards to take on the commissioning functions of clinical commissioning groups (section 19, which inserts new Chapter A3 into Part 2 of the 2006 Act), which it did on 1st July 2022 in accordance with S.I. 2022/632.
