World Osteoporosis Day

Lodged by Brian Whittle Standard Motion 33 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that 20 October 2019 is World Osteoporosis Day; notes that it will mark the beginning of a year-long campaign to raise global awareness of the need for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the condition and the need for making osteoporosis and fracture prevention a global health priority by reaching out to health-care professionals, policy makers, patients and the public at large; understands that it will also highlight stories of people around the world under the headline, "That's Osteoporosis"; acknowledges that it can be a debilitating and life-changing condition and that quality of life can depend significantly on the level of care available; understands that, nearly 20 years after the world’s first fracture liaison service (FLS) opened in Glasgow, Scotland has become the second, to have 100% FLS coverage across its entire health service; welcomes this achievement, and commends everyone working to raise awareness of osteoporosis and improve the lives of people with the condition.
