In 2008 Local Involvement Networks (LINks) were set up across England to help people influence or change the way their local NHS and social care services are delivered.
Sutton is unique across London because we combined LINk with our existing Community Engagement Network to create a LINk that will enable both individuals and community groups to have their say about all the services provided by the Council and the Local Health Service.
From April 2013 LINks will cease to exist and be replaced by Healthwatch. Healthwatch will be the new independent local ‘consumer champion' for publicly funded health and social care. It will represent the collective voice of patients, service users, carers and the public in two distinct forms – local Healthwatch and Healthwatch England.
