Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether full coverage of fracture liaison services across England by 2030 is deliverable without additional funding; and what assumptions they made in that assessment.
Our 10-Year Health Plan committed to rolling out Fracture Liaison Services across every part of the country by 2030. Integrated care boards remain well-placed to make decisions according to local need.
The Renewed Women’s Health Strategy sets an expectation that integrated care boards prioritise community-based models when commissioning new fracture prevention services.
The Department continues to work closely with NHS England to explore a range of options to provide better quality and access to these important preventative services.
