Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to use the NHS Planning Guidance to direct integrated care boards to establish and maintain high-quality Fracture Liaison Services.

Patients around the country, including those suffering from osteoporosis, are waiting too long for care and treatment. Our Plan for Change will get the health service back on its feet and make it fit for the future.

My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has confirmed that planning guidance will be published in the new year.
