Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 4 February 2025.
Lord Lexden
Deputy Chairman of Committees, Deputy Speaker (Lords)
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential financial savings achieved by the NHS resulting from their plans to provide universal access to fracture liaison services by 2030.
Baroness Merron
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
The Government and NHS England support the clinical case for services which help to prevent fragility fractures and support the patients who sustain them. According to the Fracture Liaison Service Database 2022, at least 60 trusts in England had access to a Fracture Liaison Service. My Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care is committed to rolling out fracture liaison services across every part of the country by 2030.
Costs and benefits will be assessed taking into consideration the evidence gathered from the 60 services already in operation in England.
