I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his recent visits to the Bridgend area and the ABMU area, but also to the social prescribing that he’s seen working within the clusters in the lower Llynfi valley and the gateway to the Valleys. But also, in the Llynfi valley, he was seeing other networks within the community, along with the Spirit of Llynfi Woodland, along with local schools, along with the six local GPs—but it’s integrated into the local community, and it’s great to see, I think he’d agree, the innovative way in which all partners locally, not just the GPs, but every other partner, have taken on this idea of social prescribing for the well-being of their communities.
