LINks

HVDA was successful with their bid for the Local Involvement Network (LINks).  LINks has replaced the previous Patient and Public Involvement Fora (PPI) which provided a voice for local people in relation to local health services.  LINks will seek to work alongside the Community Network in reaching local people in the provision/commissioning and scrutiny of local health and social care services.  This will include getting the views of local people on their needs and their experiences of local health and social care services.  

HVDA’s role will be to support the structures which will enable local people to have their voice heard.  If you want to know more about LINks in Hartlepool contact Paul Hyde on (01287) 201111.
