Further Comments:
Local Involvement Networks (LINks) were set up by the government in May 2008 to give communities a stronger voice in how their health and social care services are delivered. Run by local people and groups, the role of a LINk is to promote involvement, to find out what people like and dislike about local services, to monitor the care provided by services and to use the 'rights' LINk have been given by the government to hold services to account.
LINk in Cornwall is made up of individuals and community groups working together to find out about peoples views and experiences of local services and to work with the people who plan and run them to help make them more effective and improve delivery. It is important that LINk in Cornwall is seen as a trusted organisation that is able to represent anyone and everyone who wants to take part. LINk in Cornwall is hosted by Cornwall Rural Community Council, Penwith Community Development Trust, Age Concern and Interlink Cornwall.
It is easy to get involved in LINk in Cornwall and you can take part in a way that suits you. Everyone's view is important and we want to hear about your experiences of health and social care services - good and bad. The more people that participate in LINk the stronger and more influential it will become. In a nutshell, LINk in Cornwall exists to make health and social care work for the people who use these services.
