Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) are commissioned locally by clinical commissioning groups which are best placed to plan the provision of services subject to local prioritisation and funding. Service providers are also eligible to apply for funding for FLS to support elective recovery via the Elective Recovery Fund.

The Best MSK health programme is working with a range of stakeholders to improve musculoskeletal services. The Best MSK health programme does not have its own budget to fund FLS.
