The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make Fracture Liaison Services a mandated service for Integrated Care Boards.

Answered by Mrs Sharon Hodgson

Our 10-Year Health Plan committed to rolling out Fracture Liaison Services across every part of the country by 2030.

Integrated care boards remain well-placed to make decisions according to local need.

The renewed Women’s Health Strategy sets an expectation that integrated care boards prioritise community-based models when commissioning new fracture prevention services.
