Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Blake of Leeds on Thursday 16 October (HL Deb col 112GC), what options are being considered by officials in the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England to ensure improved quality of and access to fracture liaison services; when the consideration of those options will be completed; and when they intend to publish a plan to implement the chosen option.

Fracture liaison services are commissioned by integrated care boards, which are well-placed to make decisions according to local need.

Officials continue to work closely with NHS England to explore a range of options to provide better quality and access to these important preventative services.

Our 10-Year Health Plan committed to rolling out fracture liaison services across every part of the country by 2030.
