The Royal Osteoporosis Society is continuing its Better Bones campaign with the Sunday Express for universal, quality Fracture Liaison Services. In the lead up to the Budget, ROS would greatly appreciate it if you were able to raise the campaign and its aims in any meetings you have with Parliamentarians or officials and post on social media about the campaign.

The Society remains committed to achieving the Better Bones campaign’s goals. The Better Bones campaign is calling for:

•     £30m per year additional investment in FLS to fill the gaps in population coverage and quality;
•     A national Clinical Director to lead the change.
