Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what his policy is on the inclusion of indicators in the Public Health Outcomes Framework on physical activity levels among people with (a) back pain, (b) osteoarthritis and (c) other painful musculoskeletal conditions.
- Answer
-
While there is an indicator in the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) on physical activity levels, there are no indicators in the PHOF specifically on physical activity levels among people with back pain, osteoarthritis and other painful musculoskeletal conditions.
The Department will not add new indicators to the PHOF until 2016 to provide local authorities with stability in prioritising and commissioning public health interventions. The current PHOF will be reviewed in late 2015.
