By April 2011, no Primary Care Trust can manage and directly provide community health services, with the aim of creating more effective and integrated services.
In north Sefton, Community Health Services (CHS) will in future be run by Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust.
NHS Central Lancashire, NHS Sefton and Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust have agreed to create a new organisation which will see real partnership and the bringing together of services from primary care and hospital that are currently separate.
Sefton LINk has a seat on the Integrated Care Organisation Programme Board at which decisions are being made. It is vital that the views of those working or residing in North Sefton make their views known about the planned changes to services.
Please share with us your views or concerns about how you think the changes will affect services. In addition if you would like to get more involved with the LINk on this work and offer your support and maybe represent the LINk at this meeting please let us know.
Please send any information you wish to share with the LINk to our support officers at;
Sefton LINk Support.
