Did you get a DEXA bone scan when you were first diagnosed with Coeliac Disease? If so, when is your next one?

I had a DEXA scan which showed Oseoporosis. At the Kent & Canterbury a DEXA scan may be conducted every three years.
I had my first one at Kent and Canterbury last Friday waiting for results
I had mine early in 2010. It took 10 weeks for the results to turn up at my GPs, after much hassle.
I understand that I will never get another because the NHS in Bedfordshire can't afford it after the lady running it has taken her 100 grand a year salary out of the funds.
If I moved over the border to Cambridgeshire I could get another one apparently.
