Written question asked by Lord Jones of Cheltenham (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Howe (Conservative) on Tuesday, 10 January 2012.


Health: Orthopaedics

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress they have made in producing a quality standard for the management of fractures, excluding those which occur at the head and hip.
Answer

We have asked the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) to assess the suitability of fractures (excluding head and hip) as a topic for a quality standard. This assessment will look at the availability of accredited evidence to underpin the development of a quality standard. Further information on the development of quality standards is on NICE's website at: www.nice.org.uk/guidance/quality standards/qualitystandards.jsp.
