Local Involvement Networks (LINks) exist in every local authority area of England to give people more influence over how their local health and social care services are planned and delivered.

The Department of Health in England has produced a guide for health and social care managers about LINks. The guide outlines how, through proactive engagement, the needs of a community can be better understood. Working with the local LINk should be a key part of commissioning, running and reviewing health and social care services
