Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve the capacity of the NHS in England to diagnose and treat osteoporosis.
Services for those with osteoporosis are commissioned locally by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). NHS England’s Getting it Right First Time Programme has a specific workstream on musculoskeletal health, which includes work to explore how best to support ICBs in the diagnosis and treatment of Osteoporosis.
