Musculoskeletal Disorders: Health Services
Asked by: Sonia Kumar (Labour - Dudley) Tuesday 25th November 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of developing a modern service framework for musculoskeletal conditions. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Over a third of people in England live with musculoskeletal conditions, a major cause of economic inactivity. We are advancing Modern Service Frameworks for those conditions where we can swiftly and significantly raise the quality of care and productivity. That’s why our early priorities include cardiovascular disease and mental health. Future phases will address long-term conditions that carry substantial health and economic consequences. |
