233 contractors voted to accept the proposed changes to our GMLPC constitution with 100% accepting and approving the changes.

As a result we are proud to now be able to welcome and represent Bolton contractors alongside our existing contractors across Greater Manchester. The inclusion of Bolton contractors within our GMLPC footprint also enables us to better align our work with the locality structure set out within the Integrated Care System (ICS).

Looking ahead, in order to provide the best possible representation, value and support we will look to combine assets from both GMLPC and Bolton LPC in order to create a stronger organisation overall, for the benefit of all of our contractors.

Following this contractor vote our LPC constitution has now been amended accordingly.
