Fractures: Health Services
(asked on 19th February 2024) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the reply by Lord Markham on 19 January 2023 (HL Deb col 1926), what is meant by “different versions” of the fracture liaison service.
This question was answered on 28th February 2024
The Government and NHS England recognise the value of quality-assured secondary fracture prevention services, including Fracture Liaison Services (FLS). Some local health systems may offer secondary fracture prevention support without using FLS. Examples might include medication management for people at risk of osteoporosis, falls prevention services and frailty programmes.
