The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his planned timetable is for providing national coverage for fracture liaison services.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

We remain committed to rolling out Fracture Liaison Services across every part of the country by 2030.

In the meantime, we are investing in 13 high-tech bone density DEXA scanners, which are expected to provide an extra 29,000 scans to ensure people with bone conditions get diagnosed earlier.
