- A social prescribing scheme run by NHS Gloucestershire CCG has reduced GP and hospital workload by over a fifth. Results show that for each £1 invested into the scheme there was a £1.69 saving driven by a reduction in the amount of GP visits and A&E emergency admissions among people who tend to seek help frequently from the health service by 21% and 23% respectively.
