About LINk Merton
What is LINk Merton?
LINk stands for Local Involvement Network. LINk Merton is one of many networks set up all over England to help people and groups have more of a say in how local health and adult social care services are delivered. This may involve talking directly to health and social care staff about gaps in services, or suggesting ways that an existing service could be made better. The more people that get involved, the stronger and more influential the LINk becomes!
We want to hear about your experiences of health and adult social services and your ideas for improvements or changes. Your LINk has the power to make small changes and influence big changes. If you have any comments about health and social care services in Merton, click here to let us know.
