Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they have taken since July 2024 to establish early diagnosis clinics for osteoporosis in England; and how many such clinics have been established.
There are no ‘early diagnosis centres’ for osteoporosis as such. Many patients with osteoporosis will be diagnosed in primary care. Additionally, osteoporosis assessment services can be run from a number of different specialities, for example rheumatology, endocrinology, or older people’s medicine.
