The question

The Government and NHS England support the clinical case for services which help to prevent fragility fractures, and support the patients who sustain them. The Government is committed to ending the postcode lottery for access to Fracture Liaison Services.
Officials continue to work closely with NHS England to explore a range of options to provide better quality and access to these important preventative services.
