Fractures: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that people presenting with fragility fractures are systematically referred for a bone density scan.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
Fracture Liaison Services are commissioned by integrated care boards, which are well-placed to make decisions according to local need.
Our 10-Year Health Plan committed to rolling out Fracture Liaison Services across every part of the country by 2030.
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.
