Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 10 April 2025.
Lord Black of Brentwood
Conservative
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of osteoporotic fractures on hospital bed occupancy.
Baroness Merron
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
The latest data for 2023/4 on hospital inpatient admissions with a primary diagnosis of 'Osteoporosis with pathological fracture' shows that patients with this diagnosis accounted for 60,760 ‘bed days’, or approximately 0.1% of the overall total number of bed days that year.
The Government recognises that patients around the country, including those suffering from osteoporosis, are waiting too long for care and treatment. Our Plan for Change will get the health service back on its feet and make it fit for the future.
