What is the LINk?
As a result of the Local Government and Public Involvement Act in Health 2007, a new independent service has to be set up to involve local people, groups and organisations, providing them an opportunity to have their say about how health and social care services are planned, run and improved.
The service is a national service and there are LINks all over the country, located within Council geographical areas.

Then ring Karry and we can talk about running workshops, or informal talks with young people on your behalf.
