Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, known as Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust until October 2019, provides a range of services including secondary mental health care, inpatient child and adolescent mental health services, perinatal mental health and forensic services including low and medium secure care.

It also provides a range of physical health and well-being services in the community with partners in the Lancashire and Sefton area.

The trust has built a new mental health inpatient unit in Blackpool, called The Harbour.

[6] Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust and Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust successfully but only temporarily challenged a procurement process for public health services for children aged 0 to 19 undertaken by Lancashire County Council in 2017.

The Council's procurement process was not undertaken correctly and a proposed five-year contract award in favour of Virgin Care was set aside by the High Court.
