Fractures: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to roll out Fracture Liaison Services.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
More than 500,000 fragility fractures occur every year, and up to 40% of fracture patients will suffer another fracture. I am pleased to reiterate the Government’s commitment to expanding access to fracture liaison services. The Department is working closely with NHS England to develop plans to ensure better quality and access to these important preventive services.
