The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority brings together region's six local councils - Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral. The Combined Authority has taken powers and funding from national government through a 'devolution' deal. This means that we can take decisions and make investments locally, where we know what our region needs. Through the Combined Authority, we work together to make investments in areas that have a real impact on our communities, like transport, employment and skills, culture, digital and housing. Health & Life Sciences is a priority cluster for the economic development of our City Region, and we work to grow our local economy and attract investment in this cluster.
