On the 1st July 2022, the Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) replaced the eight CCGs across the area, and is now accountable for NHS spend and performance, and responsible for the day-to-day running of the NHS in Lancashire and South Cumbria. As part of this system, on a more local level Primary Care Networks are groups of GP practices working together with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in their local areas.
Currently, the registered population of Blackpool is 178,103 people and is considerably higher than the resident population of the Blackpool Council local authority area (estimated to be around 144,000 in 2024).
