LINks

Liverpool LINk or Local Involvement Network is now launched Feb 2009.

It is THE group commissioned and funded by Central Government to scrutinise ALL Health and Social Care activity in <placew:ston>Liverpool.

 Liverpool Local Involvement Network (LINk) is an independent network which is supported by a host organisation, Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Service (LCVS). At

151 Dale Street, Liverpool, L2 2AH

It provides an opportunity for the whole community to say what they think about local services, to raise issues of concern and to question those who run the services.

You can have your say by feeding in your views - both positive and negative - on local health and social care services so that the LINk can build evidence and conduct further research and surveys to present to service commissioners and providers.

Liverpool LINk is part of a national network of groups and individuals set up to make sure that health and social care services are planned and delivered to meet the needs of the people that use them.

For further information about how you can get involved, please contact 0151 227 5177 or info@liverpoollink.org.uk
