Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential (a) cost-effectiveness and (b) efficiency gains of maintaining Fracture Liaison Services to local NHS and care services; and whether his Department is taking steps to assist Vale of York CCG and York Hospital Trust to establish a Fracture Liaison Service for York.

Answered by Gillian Keegan - Secretary of State for Education

Services for those with osteoporosis and bone health conditions, including Fracture Liaison Services (FLS), are commissioned locally. NHS England is working with local integrated care systems (ICSs) to support the implementation of FLS and increase the number of clinics. NHS England is also developing regional bone health clinical networks to support clinicians working in FLS. The Department expects musculoskeletal, fragility fracture and fall services to be fully incorporated into ICSs’ planning, informed by the metrics available on the Model Health System (MHS) platform. NHS England has worked with the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership and the Royal College of Physicians, to ensure key performance indicators from the Falls and Fragility Fracture Audit Programme are included within the MHS.

No specific assessment has been made of the potential for cost-effectiveness or efficiency gains of maintaining FLS or the establishment of a service in York.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to ensure universal access to fracture liaison services; and what recent assessment his Department has made of the impact of the absence of universal service availability on the health of those with osteoporosis and bone health conditions.

Answered by Gillian Keegan - Secretary of State for Education

We are currently assessing the accessibility of fracture liaison services (FLS) through data collected in the national Falls and Fragility Fracture Audit Programme. This aims to identify any inequitable provision and improve services.

Services for those with osteoporosis and bone health conditions are commissioned locally. The Department expects musculoskeletal, fragility fracture and fall services to be fully incorporated into integrated care systems’ planning and decision-making. This will allow greater collaboration, improve the coverage and sustainability of services and development of regional bone health clinical networks to support clinicians working in FLS.
