What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A failure to provide universal Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) access across England has been highlighted, leading to what critics call a "scandalous postcode lottery" for osteoporosis treatment. Chris Bloore, the Member of Parliament for Redditch, stated that his local National Health Service trust does not currently have an FLS.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The lack of FLS access means that an estimated two-thirds of the 3.5 million people living with osteoporosis may be untreated. Bloore argued that preventable fragility fractures account for 7% of all hospital beds in England, potentially increasing the burden on the National Health Service.
