North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust was created in April 2001 by merging Carlisle Hospitals NHS Trust and West Cumbria Healthcare NHS Trust. It ran Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle, Cumbria, the birthing unit at Penrith Hospital and West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven, England. In January 2012, the Trust decided that its preferred future was as part of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust[1] but in 2018 it proposed to merge with Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.[2] The merger took place in October 2019. The new organisation is called North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust.
