FOI 2025/1401

I am writing to request the below information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
1. Which trusts have the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board commissioned to provide fracture clinics?
2. Which trusts have the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board commissioned to provide fracture liaison services?
3. When did Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board’s fracture liaison service open (month/year)?

1. NHS Greater Manchester (NHS GM) does not hold the information requested. Fracture clinics are delivered by acute providers. Whether a trust has a clinic would depend on whether they also offer services that treat acute fractures. Therefore, it will be necessary for you to contact the NHS Trusts for the information you seek. To assist you please find below, links to their websites and information about how to make a Freedom of Information request.

2. NHS GM does not directly commission trusts to provide fracture liaison services. At present, five out of our ten places have an established fracture liaison service. We have a GM FLS steering group to help bring together existing services and support a future pan-GM offer.

3. NHS GM does not have an ICB- commissioned fracture liaison service.
