THE TRANSFORMATION BOARD

Establishing, funding, staffing and governance of HealthWatch
NALM has decided to set up a Transformation Board to examine, in detail, some of the key issues involved in the transformation from Local Involvement Networks (LINks) to Local and National HealthWatch. The first meeting was held on 06 October 2010 at The Friend’s Meeting House in London.
The NALM Conference on 08 July, provided a considerable amount of information from LINk members on their experiences of LINks and their recommendations for the development of the new system. This led to the production of our report ‘100 Experts Speak about the Development of HealthWatch’.
The Draft Terms of Reference and Objectives for the Transformation Board are shown below. We expect the Board to hold a limited number of highly focussed meetings at which members will focus on their own experience and produce recommendations that will go the Ministers and Department of Health policy and implementation leads.
