The information relates to Social Prescribing Link Workers (SPLWs), or other workers who undertake the role of a SPLW with different role titles.
1. Please tell me how many SPLWs are employed in your Local Authority Area.
2. Please tell me if there are any organisations in your local authority area which employ social prescribing link workers? If so, please tell me the names of these organisations.
