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:
- A mandate from Government that everyone over 50 should be covered by a quality FLS;
- £30m per year additional investment in FLS to fill the gaps in population coverage and quality;
- A national Clinical Director to lead the change.
The campaign’s momentum continues to grow and make an impact across the UK. The ROS will maintain their engagement with politicians from both the Conservative and Labour parties, and build upon the relationships that were fostered at their respective conferences last year. The aim is to collaborate constructively with representatives from other political parties and engage with the devolved administrations.
