HealthWatch
The purpose of this webpage is to keep readers up to date with current affairs relating to the transition of current LINk functions into Local HealthWatch through the use of newsletters.
Each newsletter will cover the progress of LINk's transition, the developments of HealthWatch, both locally and nationally, as well as include some important background information and provide contacts if you have any questions. Why not let us know your views on HealthWatch and how it should serve the population of Kent? Contact the LINk to find out how.
