Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing
To understand the current social prescribing landscape in Wales, a baseline study was undertaken by the Wales School of Social Prescribing Research (WSSPR), University of South Wales, Data Cymru and Public Health Wales (PHW). The work aimed to outline the baseline from which a national framework could be developed, providing a snapshot of what we currently understand about social prescribing in Wales.
