North Cumbria refers to the west, east and north areas of Cumbria.

In 2017 Commissioning Groups confirmed they were given approval by NHS England to change the NHS’s organisational boundaries in the county with North Cumbria covering the areas of Allerdale, Copeland, Carlisle and Eden. The South Lakes in Furness area are now covered by NHS services in Morecambe Bay.

PLEASE NOTE: These NHS boundaries are not related to the county’s current council boundaries. Information about this can be found on the Westmorland and Furness Council website here. Or the Cumberland Council website here.
