Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 April 2026

Debate

Women’s Health Strategy

Contribution

My Lords, I, too, welcome the Government’s women’s health strategy. I know that the Minister is passionate about it. I want to return to the first question, on osteoporosis. In her answer, the Minister talked about the rollout of fracture liaison clinics across the country—Scotland and Northern Ireland already have 100% coverage. She mentioned the 10-year plan but did not mention that by 2030 the Government still intend to have rolled out FLCs across the country. Can she confirm that that date still exists and is still a commitment? I welcome the DEXA scanners, too—but could she comment on the comments made by some radiographers that there are staff shortages in operating those and say whether there is anything that the Government can do about it?
