SIR – Following the brief piece (T&A, July 9) about the appointment of Javed Khan as chairman of the Healthwatch Bradford and District Board, I’d like to congratulate Javed on his appointment.
I have been acting as interim chairman during the transition from Bradford LINk, and I am looking forward to working with him as I continue my involvement in Healthwatch.
The role of chairman is vital, to make sure that the voices and views of service users are heard by decision-makers, and I know he has strong skills and experience as well as a fresh perspective which will help Healthwatch achieve this aim.
I would also like to thank everyone who has been involved in Bradford LINk in the past for their hard work and commitment.
Our continuing focus has to be on improving our local health and social care services, and I would encourage everyone to get involved with Healthwatch and have their say on what matters to them. For more details, visit healthwatchbradford.co.uk.
Emmerson Walgrove, interim chairman, Healthwatch Bradford Advisory Board, Parkfield Road, Manningham, Bradford
