Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they will publish the terms of reference for the economic impact assessment on copyright and artificial intelligence as required by section 135 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and what opportunities industry will have to provide input to that assessment.

As set out in Section 135 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, the Government is required to publish an economic impact assessment within 9 months of the Act’s Royal Assent.

Osteoporosis: Health Services
Asked by: Lord Black of Brentwood (Conservative - Life peer)
Wednesday 30th July 2025

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans NHS England has to expand digital clinical decision support for osteoporosis care across primary care networks.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning services that meet the needs of their population, including for osteoporosis. The Government expects ICBs to take account of National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines and other best practice in designing their local services.

The three shifts outlined in the 10-Year Health Plan will support people with long-term conditions, including those with osteoporosis, to better manage their condition and access services closer to home.

Digital tools like the NHS App will empower patients to manage their conditions, access information, and communicate with healthcare professionals more easily. Digital technologies will also enable remote monitoring of patients, allowing for early intervention and personalised care.

The 10-Year Health Plan envisions a healthcare system that is more proactive, personalised, and digitally enabled, leading to earlier diagnosis, more effective management, and ultimately, better outcomes for individuals with long-term conditions such as osteoporosis.
