CCG/ICB and Orchard Cottage

In 2018 the then N Derbyshire CCG started to look at the future of Orchard Cottage and similar facilities in Derbyshire.

The 4 separate Clinical Commissioning Groups in Derbyshire merged on 1st April 2019 and the pandemic then intervened.

In 2022 the CCG became NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (ICB), also using the "Joined Up Care" naming.

In 2024/5 the ICB again decided to look at the future of the Learning Disabilities Short Breaks service which of course includes Orchard Cottage in Darley Dale.

In late 2024, the League gave a response to the pre-consultation. A full consultation is expected in 2025.

The extended car parking (funded by the League) at The Whitworth was opened by The Duke & Duchess of Devonshire.
