The Commission for Patient and Public Involvement in Health (CPPIH) was established in January 2003 to set up and support Patients' Forums. This independent, non-departmental public body (NDPB) was abolished on the 31st March 2008 when Patients' Forums were replaced by Local Involvement Networks (LINks).
If you have an inquiry about the past work of CPPIH, please contact the Department of Health Customer Service Centre,

The NHS Centre for Involvement aims to support the NHS to implement patient and public involvement.

Opportunities exist for individuals and local groups to help establish LINks.
