A LINk is being set up in every local authority area where they have health and social care responsibilities. All LINks will be managed by local groups and individuals who will decide what their priorities are and how they will work.

To help them with this, each LINk will have a “Host” organisation to support them in their work.  The Host must be an independent, not for profit organisation and in Darlington, The Carers Federation has been appointed as Host.

Darlington LINk will help councils, the local NHS and organisations who provide care services to listen and respond to a wide range of views so that people, groups and organisations can influence all health and social care services in the area.

The LINk will help local people and organisations to speak with one voice and have real influence over key decisions that affect their community. Local Involvement Network or LINk were set up by the Government in April 2008 to give local people a stronger voice in how their health and social care services are delivered.
