Recommendation (the committee's words)
In addition, we recommend that ICBs explore methods for increasing investment in the prescription of physical activity as part of a broader shift towards prevention. This should be pursued alongside appropriate clinical treatments, ensuring patients benefit from the full range of evidence-based interventions available. (Recommendation, Paragraph 19)
