Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:44 pm on 1 February 2017.
I thank the Member for his question. Indeed, prior to questions today, I met with StreetGames, who told me about the work that’s going on in many communities around Wales where play is an important factor, not just about health benefits, but also about confidence and other aspects of mental health provision et cetera. There’s a huge benefit from play. We are seeking to use play as an alternative therapy—and social prescribing. I’m interested in the Member’s local connection in terms of the group that he talks about. If the Member would like to write to me with details, I’ll give that some consideration.
