The Government\u2019s Loneliness Strategy \u2018A connected society: A Strategy for tackling loneliness \u2013 laying the foundations for change\u2019, acknowledged that tackling loneliness is complex and a long-term challenge, requiring action across many fronts and working with local government, public services, the voluntary and community sector and businesses to identify opportunities to tackle loneliness and build more integrated communities.<\/p>

Discussions are underway with a range of public sector organisations such as job centres, local authorities, Public Health England and National Health Service agencies to identify what more can be done to improve how they better refer into social prescribing services and provision.<\/p>

In addition, social workers play a key role in referring people into community services and the co-chair of the Principal Social Worker network sits on the National Social Prescribing network to promote their work and share learning.<\/p>

The Department expects to report on the outcome of this commitment in late autumn.<\/p>

NHS England does not commission separate services for sickle cell patients with stroke, chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease or pulmonary hypertension and so cannot provide annual per capita costs. These services are commissioned on behalf of all patients that require them, which would include people living with sickle cell disease.<\/p>

NHS England has recently undertaken a review of haemoglobinopathy services to ensure that patients living with conditions such as sickle cell disease are able to access the high-quality services they need for their condition across the country. NHS England is now commissioning a networked-based model of care for specialised haemoglobinopathy services which will included specialist haemoglobinopathy teams across the country, regional haemoglobinopathy coordination centres and a National Haemoglobinopathy Panel. The new model will enable advice to be provided to local clinicians on the management of patients with sickle cell disease 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Haemoglobinopathy coordination centres will organise and run networks for sickle cell disease, providing leadership and education for local services.<\/p>
