Social prescribing is proposed as ‘a sustainable response to the rising demands in mental health’, and the working group has been established as a forum in which to discuss issues regarding the introduction of a national social prescribing programme. The meeting was attended by politicians, commissioners, membership organisations, Health Education England, Health and Wellbeing Boards, provider organisations, and the charity sector. Following the meeting, a consensus statement, which can be found here, was produced and a letter written to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Rt. Hon. Matt Hancock MP.
