Local Involvement Network
Hackney LINk arrives!
Hackney Local Involvement Network (LINk) is a new, independent
statutory body which will give power to Hackney’s residents and
service users to influence the planning, commissioning, and
delivery of all local NHS and adult social care services, and
monitor their quality and effectiveness.
Hackney LINk’s first Chair is lifelong Hackney resident Shirley
Murgraff who said “Hackney LINk wants the widest possible
participation and representation from local residents and health
and social care users, and community and voluntary
organisations.”
Hackney LINk will negotiate with the NHS and Hackney Council to
improve services that don’t meet local needs. The LINk will also
report to the public both where services are doing well and, if
they fail to meet expectations, will publish its recommendations to
the NHS and Hackney Council.
Local people, service users, and organisations
wishing to give their views about the quality of our health and
social care provision, or become Hackney LINk members, should
contact Esther Norman on Telephone: 020 275 2743 or email info@hackneylink.org.uk
