Fractures: Lincolnshire

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 27 May 2025UIN 53470

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve fracture liaison services for people aged over 50 in Lincolnshire.

Answered by Ashley Dalton

Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) are a globally recognised care model, and can reduce the risk of refracture for people at risk of osteoporosis by up to 40%.

FLS are commissioned by integrated care boards (ICBs), which make decisions according to local need. This includes the Lincolnshire ICB. We remain committed to rolling out FLS across every part of the country by 2030.
