Sport England supports the reference in part 1d) of this policy to taking opportunities where they arise to co-locate healthcare facilities with facilities for sport to capture opportunities for social prescribing since this can bring about stronger outcomes for physical and mental well-being in line with the plan's objective. A good example of this is Portway Lifestyle Centre in Sandwell (case study link attached below). https://www.sportengland.org/know-your-audience/case-studies/portway-lifestyle-centre
