A Pathfinder HealthWatch
We all have experiences of local health and social care services.
Our independent network of individuals and organisations is keen to improve services and wants to hear about your experiences.

Proposed closure of vital services
Lewisham Local Involvement Network (LINk) has written to Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Health about the proposed closure of vital services at University Hospital Lewisham. The LINk spoke to over 300 local people who gave their views on the Trust Special Administrator (TSA)'s recommendations. The closure is threatened following the 'one-sided, one-dimensional' report of the TSA, the LINk hopes this may go some way to persuading Jeremy Hunt to reject the TSA's recommendations.
