Listen to Joanna Parker (the LINk Participant who led on the Enter and View) talking to Chris Connery of Gloss FM about it:
Welcome
to the South Gloucestershire LINk website
South Gloucestershire LINk (Local Involvement Network) gives you the opportunity to influence local health and social care services.
South Gloucestershire LINk is independent and is run by the people who belong to it.
Every Local Authority that provides social care services has been given Department of Health money to fund a LINk in their area and to employ an organisation to host it - to advise and support it.
South Gloucestershire Council has commissioned The Care Forum to be this organisation.
However it is up to the participants in the LINk to decide what priorities to concentrate on, how the LINk is run and how its funding is spent.
