The Department is now asking for views from all stakeholders, including LINks, on options for distributing the additional funding to local authorities for local HealthWatch, NHS Complaints Advocacy, which is moving from the Department of Health, and PCT Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS), which is moving from the NHS.

We will look at allocation options for the Independent Mental Health Advocates prior to the 2013 settlement.
