From 1 April 2008, Local Involvement Networks (LINks) will be established to find out what citizens want from local services, monitor and review the care they provide and to tell those who run and commission services what the community thinks. To help LINks carry out their role, the legislation establishing them gives LINks certain powers - such as being able to enter and view services under certain safeguards. This briefing explains more about LINks and the implications for independent providers of health and social care services.
