North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust was created in April 2001 by merging Carlisle Hospitals NHS Trust and West Cumbria Healthcare NHS Trust. It runs Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle, Cumbria, 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.

The Trust's financial problems are longstanding[1] and associated with the move of services out of hospital closer to patients' homes and the difficulties of delivering services in a large rural area.[2]

The Trust was placed in special measures as a result of Sir Bruce Keogh's review of hospital mortality. [3]
