Carer benefits and legal services Plymouth Link Support Team

Contact us

The job of the LINk is to find out:

- What people like and don't like about the health and social care services they use

- What new health and social care services people need

- What people think about plans for new services and how they should look

The LINk will then work with the people who plan and run health and social care services to help them improve services for the people who use them.

LINks have powers to help them to do this. The Plymouth LINk can:

- Ask for information about services and get answers in a specified time

- Report on problems and make recommendations for changes and get answers in a specified time

- Visit health and social care services to see if they are working well

- Refer problems to Plymouth's 'Overview and Scrutiny Committee' for health

- Provide opportunities for people to get actively involved

We do this by talking to local people and communities through outreach at events, clubs, groups, etc.
