Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will maintain existing transformation fund commitments to support the rollout of Fracture Liaison Services.
More than 500,000 fragility fractures occur every year, and up to 40% of fracture patients will suffer another fracture.
This Government and NHS England support the clinical case for services which help to prevent fragility fractures and support the patients who sustain them. That is why this Government is committed to the expansion of Fracture Liaison Services and is working closely with NHS England to develop rollout plans to end the postcode lottery.
