Joint Capital Resource Use Plan
Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and their Partner Trusts must:
- prepare a plan setting out their planned capital resource use, before the start of each financial year
- publish the plan and give a copy to their Integrated Care Partnership, Health and Wellbeing Boards and NHS England (NHSE).
The relevant section of the Health and Care Act 2022 can be found via the following Health and Care Act 2022 (legislation.gov.uk) and reference should be made to sections 14Z56 and 14Z57.
Legal responsibility for the timely preparation and publication of the Joint Capital Resource Use Plan (JCRUP) lies with the ICB and its partner Trusts. The published plans aim to provide transparency for local residents, patients, NHS health workers and other NHS stakeholders on the prioritisation and expenditure of capital funding by ICBs and their Partner Trusts to achieve their strategic aims.
This supports both provider and ICB requirements to manage capital plans within allocated capital and meets ICBs’ responsibilities to report annually on their use of resources. CDEL (Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit) is a budget limit set by the Treasury for capital spending by government departments, including the NHS.
Joint Capital Resource Use Plan 2026/27
The Joint Capital Resource Use Plan 2026/27 explains how NHS Surrey and Sussex and its partner organisations intend to use capital funding during 2026/27 to improve buildings, equipment, digital systems and healthcare infrastructure.
It sets out the main investment priorities across the system, including estate safety, hospital and community developments, primary care improvements, diagnostic services and major national programmes, while also showing how funding is allocated and managed.
The plan is published to provide transparency, support effective decision-making and show how capital investment will help improve patient care, modernise services and support long-term health and care priorities across Surrey and Sussex.

NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB Annual Report for 2025/2026
The NHS Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care Board (ICB) Annual Report for 2025/26 has been developed in line with NHS England requirements, as published in the Department of Health and Social Care Group Accounting Manual.
While Surrey and Sussex ICB is now a single organisation, the 2025/26 reporting period relates to our two legacy ICBs, NHS Surrey Heartlands ICB and NHS Sussex ICB. Separate Annual Reports have therefore been produced to provide the full statutory record for each organisation
