The Potential of Social Prescription and the Role of Municipality: Connect Beyond Vertical Divisions/ Daisuke Nishioka.

In social prescribing, it is important to collaborate with various professionals and departments involved in the lives of residents. In addition, the place where residents’ difficulties are discovered is not necessarily in the field of health care. All local government officials who have opportunities to come into contact with residents are practitioners of social prescription.
