    GPs in England are being given permission to prescribe patients "social" activities, such as dance classes, to tackle loneliness.

    The strategy, announced by Prime Minister Theresa May, will also see postal delivery workers checking in on isolated people during their rounds.

    The government says about 200,000 older people have not had a conversation with a friend or relative in over a month.

    Mrs May launched the strategy by attending a social group put on by a charity working to combat loneliness in Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre in central London.

    Mrs May said: "This strategy is only the beginning of delivering a long and far reaching social change in our country - but it is a vital first step in a national mission to end loneliness in our lifetimes."
