To receive the 2009/10 Local Involvement Network (LINks) Annual Report. (TO FOLLOW)

The Committee received the Annual Report of the Local Involvement Network (LINk) for 2009/10.

The Committee noted that the contract for the host organisation for the LINk – the Shaw Trust - was managed by the Council’s Voluntary Sector Team and that grant funding from the Department of Health was not ring-fenced.  A portion of the funding for the LINk was retained to fund contract management.  The Committee requested a breakdown of this. 

In response to questions from members, Ms Kania explained that LINk had rejected the single place offered on the Board for the North Central London reconfiguration of health services as this was felt not to be adequate representation for LINk services from Haringey, Enfield and Barnet; at least one member from each local area was required.

The above comments would be sent to the Director and the Cabinet Member for Adult & Community Services.

RESOLVED that the Local Involvement Network (LINk) Annual Report and the good work of LINk be noted.
