§ Mr. Key:To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many primary care trusts have developed policies for osteoporosis in their health improvement programmes for older people; and if he will make a statement. [142993]
§ Dr. Ladyman:The national service framework for older people sets clear milestones for the planning and development of integrated falls services and provides the basis for a service model that will deliver improvements in prevention, care, treatment and rehabilitation. The most recent reports we have from strategic health authorities indicate that all but a few of the primary care trust local delivery plans include actions to achieve the 2005 milestone. We have collected no systematic information on what local plans cover.
