Social Prescribing: Young People
(asked on 27th January 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to promote social prescribing for young people.
NHS England and NHS Improvement are working with local areas to support promotion and implementation of social prescribing. Social prescribing link workers will work with local partners (such as local public and voluntary, community and social enterprise agencies) to develop substantial support offers which address health and wellbeing needs for people of all ages. A key task of link workers is to promote social prescribing, its role in self-management, and the wider determinants of health.
Further information is outlined in the summary best practice guided published by NHS England and NHS Improvement in January 2019 and found at the following link:
