Trust has no fracture care
Health Minister Edwin Poots said the action was being taken in response to a recommendation made by the Fragility Fracture Working Group.
A report by the group said “fracture liaison services for secondary prevention of fragility fractures should be established in all Trusts that have A&E and Minor Injury Services to ensure secondary prevention is offered to all patients who have suffered a fragility fracture.”
The Minister said: “The Western Trust is recruiting specialist nurses to re-establish their service as soon as possible.”
