The Consortium of Local Medical Committees in Lancashire & Cumbria comprises of five autonomous Local Medical Committees within Lancashire and Cumbria. It is an umbrella organisation providing services to 245 practices. This enables a critical mass of support, specialisation and expertise to be provided to the five LMCs, their General Practitioners and Practices. This is of benefit in dealing with high level negotiations with NHS England Area Teams, ICBs and other statutory bodies. It is also vital in providing the necessary level of support to individual GPs and practices.
The Chairs and Treasurers of the LMCs meet with the officers of the Consortium to set the direction of travel and agree service priorities, share approaches to policy issues and exchange views. The budget for the Consortium Office is also approved at this level. LMCs determine their own budgets and working arrangements.
For all the LMCs, Member’s term of office is four years with half the committee retiring every two years. The positions of Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer are re-elected every two years.
