We will be the best – giving excellent compassionate care to the people of Morecambe Bay.

Welcome to our Council of Governors

There are six staff governors, 17 public governors from across the Bay and seven partner governors. The Governors provide a vital link between the communities and groups they serve and the Trust Board, which has the statutory responsibility for the management of the organisation.

They also have a number of statutory roles, including providing their view on our forward planning, appointing and deciding the terms of office of the Chair and other Non Executive Directors of the Board, approving the appointment of the Chief Executive, appointing or removing our auditors and receiving our annual accounts, auditor's reports and annual report.

To contact a Governor, simply click on their name and email them.  Alternatively you can write to them via our membership office.
