Elections for Steering Group Membership

Nominations are now closed for the 2011 Portsmouth LINk Steering Group Elections. We would like to thank all those who put forward excellent nominations. Further information about the election process will follow on Monday (14/11/2011).

Help shape health and social care in Portsmouth

With so many changes to health and social care services, it’s even more important that your views are heard.

You can have a say on the future of these services by getting involved in the Portsmouth LINk.

The LINk acts on behalf of patients and residents to help make sure health and social care services in the city are the best they can be.

In November Portsmouth LINk is holding an election for a new steering group, which will tackle key health and social care issues in the city and represent users. The results of the election will be announced at a public meeting starting at 6pm on 24 November at the John Pounds Centre, Portsea.

This event will also give an update on LINk’s work and will include a ‘question time’ panel.

If you’d like to become a LINk member, stand for the election or take part in the meeting, contact victor.vine@portsmouthcc.gov.uk or call 023 9284 1388.

The LINk will soon become part of a new watchdog organisation, Healthwatch. If you wish to be included in the work of the LINk as it develops into Healthwatch, please complete our quick survey:
