What is LINk in Cornwall?

The job of LINk in Cornwall is to listen to and reflect peoples views and experiences of local services and to work with the people who plan and run them to help make them more effective and improve delivery.

How LINk in Cornwall works

LINk will work in a number of ways. It will:

Talk directly to health and social care professionals about a service that is not being offered or suggesting ways that an existing service could be improved.
Research specific issues of concern to the community and make recommendations to the people who plan and run services
Ask for information about services from commissioners and providers
Carry out spot checks on services that are publicly funded to see if they are working well
Refer issues to Cornwall County Councils Health and Adult Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee [HASOSC].
