A newly launched independent health watchdog has won a contract from Sutton Council.
Healthwatch Sutton replaces the former Local Involvement Network and will continue to offer advice to patients, carers and other service users to help shape the way healthcare is provided locally.
Healthwatch Sutton also has charitable status which ensures that all their resources are dedicated to public benefit and promoting the needs of the community.
