Seven Regional Social Prescribing Steering Groups, covering the country, have now been established. Each steering group comprises key stakeholders that work together to maximise impact of social prescribing in their region. Two social prescribing network/workshop events were held in each region in 2018/19, and between April and June 2019, an additional event was held in each region aimed at commissioners and other key stakeholders. These additional events were designed to support the development of shared local plans to recruit and embed link workers in Primary Care Networks and align with existing local social prescribing schemes<\/p>

In November 2018 the first meeting of the cross-Government social prescribing taskforce took place. Meeting are usually held every two months and involve a range of Government departments and agencies. The taskforce brings together those with a shared interest in social prescribing to discuss how policy in a range of areas, including work on the loneliness strategy, can support work to maximise its impact.<\/p>
