LINk - HealthWatch In order to strengthen the voice of patients Existing Local Involvement Networks (LINks) will become local HealthWatch organisations. Nationally; HealthWatch England will be a new independent consumer champion within the Care Quality Commission Locally; delivered by councils, local HealthWatch sit on Health and Wellbeing boards, and can report concerns about quality of local services to HealthWatch England

Local Healthwatch Will talk to people about their health and social care needs to make sure that services do what they say and have done so far Will provide a single point of contact, by connecting people to the right NHS and social care advice and advocacy services Will help people to find information so they can then choose the services they need and require Will support people to speak out and give those who want it, an opportunity to get more involved in a range of different ways

Healthwatch Functions Carry on doing the work the LINk do, Provide information to support patient choice: Have a representative on Local Health & Wellbeing boards Possibly provide complaints advocacy (ICAS):

Healthwatch Will Be in place in October 2012, building on the current LINks Be an organisation in its own right, and no longer a network Have ‘members’ who can be paid Have participants as well as ‘members’ Have to produce its own annual accounts

Healthwatch May Appoint its own employees. Arrange for an employee (or member or committee) or some other person to do things for them Have approximately 8-9 members of staff per LHW (some of these will possibly be from PCT PALs departments and some from existing ICAS offices) Be a ‘high-street’ presence and a body in its own right
