This social impact bond will allow the delivery of non-medical, social and community based support prescribing to up to 2,515 patients aged 18 to 65 to help them understand and manage their long term health conditions. It aims to improve service user well-being and reduce use of health and social care services which should generate up to £0.5million in savings. The amount awarded in May has been increased by £300,000 to help resource the proposal's focus on smaller, geographically isolated GP practices.
