Fractures: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate his Department has made of the potential cost savings to social care budgets of providing universal access to Fracture Liaison Services each year.
Answered by Andrew Gwynne
The Government and NHS England support the clinical case for services which help to prevent fragility fractures and support the patients who sustain them. My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care is committed to rolling out Fracture Liaison Services across every part of the country by 2030.
Impacts will be assessed, including adult social care budgets, taking into consideration the evidence gathered from the 60 services already in operation in England.
