During the General Election campaign, Mr Streeting told this newspaper that one of his first acts in Government would be to task NHS England with a 'rollout plan'.
Thousands of hospital beds could be freed up if Health Secretary Wes Streeting delivers on his promise to fund screening clinics for a bone-thinning disease, a study has shown.
This would give every part of the country access to Fracture Liaison Services , the gold standard in early diagnosis of osteoporosis. FLS aims to predict bone breaks earlier in patients' lives with a bone-density test called a DEXA scan. If signs of osteoporosis are spotted, patients can be given bone-preserving drugs sooner, leading to fewer fractures.Thousands of hospital beds could be freed up if Health Secretary Wes Streeting delivers on his promise to fund screening clinics for osteoporosis, a study has shown
The Mail on Sunday launched a campaign last year to expand FLS to every part of England, backed by the Royal Osteoporosis Society.Studies show without Government action, people with osteoporosis will suffer 74,000 preventable fractures by 2030, including 31,000 life-threatening hip fractures.
