Written question asked by Lord Black of Brentwood (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Howe (Conservative) on Monday, 20 December 2010.


Health: Orthopaedics

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any plans to introduce a best practice tariff for non-hip fragility fractures.
Answer

We have no plans to introduce a best practice tariff for non-hip fragility fractures. There is a lack of clear comparative data to show current variation in practice (which a best practice tariff might address) due to non-hip fragility fractures being treated in a variety of settings.
