Local Involvement Networks
A LINk will be a network of local people, organisations and groups that want to make care services better.
A LINk will give you the chance to say what you think and to suggest ideas to help improve services. They will be expected to represent everyone. A LINk will also work with care professionals tomake sure your views are heard. There will be a LINk in every Local Authority area that has social services responsibility.
LINks will replace Patients’ Forums, and the Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health will stop.
A leaflet about LINks from teh Department of Health is attached to this post.
kind regards
Jason
