Announcement of the Chair of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) ICB and Northamptonshire ICB
NHS England has confirmed that the new permanent chair of the LLR and Northamptonshire ICB cluster will be Anu Singh.
Anu, who will join the organisations in October, is currently chair of the Black Country ICB and brings a wealth of experience to the role as a Board-level local government and health leader.
She has previously been a statutory Director of Adult Social Care and Chaired an integrated NHS Trust and was also Director of Patient and Public Participation and Insight for NHS England, taking the lead for the NHS in ensuring the voice of patients, service users, carers and the public is at its heart.
Anu said: “I’m thrilled to have been appointed to my preferred cluster. This new chapter for ICBs is a real opportunity for us to take the amazing system and neighbourhood developments of the last few years and, together with our communities, make a lasting difference to health outcomes now and for generations to come.“
Anu takes on the role from Paula Clark who has been chair of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) ICB since October 2024 and interim chair of the cluster since July.
Paula has said: "When the changes to ICBs were proposed I decided that I would not put myself forward for the new cluster Chair role from October. Whilst it has been a great privilege chairing LLR over recent months, I felt that the new role for the ICBs needs the long-term commitment that I'm unable to offer given my life choices for more time for myself, friends and family as I head towards my next big decade."
