Osteoporosis tests 'could save Welsh NHS £4.5m'

More services in Wales to help diagnose osteoporosis could save the NHS £4.5m a year, a charity has claimed.

The National Osteoporosis Society is calling for every hospital in Wales to have such a specialist service.

It claims only half of hospitals in the country currently provide fracture liaison services for outpatients.

The Welsh Government said extra funding had been provided for more physiotherapists for a community-based approach to musculoskeletal conditions.
