I am a Participating Member of Bucks LINk and do not perceive that my views on matters effecting the Health and Adult Care Services being provided to the Patients, Carers and Public of Bucks. are either being sought or valued or acted upon by those leading the Bucks LINk currently (the Steering Committee).

For example the NHS Bucks (previously known as Bucks Primary Care Trust) have sought input from Bucks LINk to the format and content of their document setting out their Strategy in relation to the matter of Patient and Public Engagement for the period from 2010-2013 - this document sets out their strategy for involving Patients and the Public in their decision-making processes as required by the Dept. of Health.

Bucks LINk was responded, largely positively, but I am not aware of having been consulted in relation to this response. Have you been offered the opportunity to express your views?
