Written question asked by Lord Shinkwin (Conservative) on Thursday, 14 May 2026, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Friday, 29 May 2026. It was answered by Baroness Merron (Labour) on Thursday, 4 June 2026 on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care.


Fractures: Health Services

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether full coverage of fracture liaison services across England by 2030 is deliverable without additional funding; and what assumptions they made in that assessment.

Answer

Our 10-Year Health Plan committed to rolling out Fracture Liaison Services across every part of the country by 2030. Integrated care boards remain well-placed to make decisions according to local need.

The Renewed Women’s Health Strategy sets an expectation that integrated care boards prioritise community-based models when commissioning new fracture prevention services.

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