Local Involvement Networks were set up by an Act of Parliament in April 2008 and funded through Local Authorities in England. One of the jobs we have been given to do was described by the Government in the following way:-

“Local Involvement Networks, which aim to help communities shape local health and care services, are able (under the law) to enter certain publicly funded health and care services to see them at work.”

Wandsworth LINk wish to implement Enter & View as part of its aim to give patients, carers and service users a stronger voice in helping to improve health and social care services in the Borough. You can see the paper that sets out how this will be done in Wandsworth at the Resources section of our website under Policies.
