Fractures
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many local authorities offer access to fracture liaison services linked to every hospital in a local area involved in the care of people with fragility fractures; and if he will make a statement.
[159525]
- Answer
-
The information on fracture liaison services linked to every hospital is not held centrally by the Department or NHS England. Local commissioners are primarily responsible for determining what steps are needed to improve the health and care of people with fragility fractures.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents published on 13 June 2013 an on-line handbook ‘Delivering Accident Prevention at a local level in the new public health’ system funded by the Department and supported by Public health England.
It aims to assist local authorities and local commissioners with information to improve injury prevention including strategies and services to reduce falls and the risk of accidental injury.
