While the argument that loneliness has a detrimental impact on health & well-being is well made, the Q. is whether this should then be the responsibility of the NHS to address?

While I agree that society *does* need to do more about loneliness, this seems me to be an issue for other agencies not to be added to an overstretched health service.

(Many may suspect that this is one more social harm that is caused by the expansion of social media use?)
