The motion

That the Parliament commends the work of Xcite Ageing Well West Lothian, a community project promoting healthy and active lifestyles for adults over 50 across Lothian, for its efforts to improve physical health, mental health and wellbeing in later life and in supporting the management of conditions such as menopause, musculoskeletal conditions and osteoporosis; notes that the project has been part-funded by the NHS in partnership with Paths for All, West Lothian Care Activity Network, Age Scotland, OPAL, Craigshill Good Neighbour Network, Put Your West Foot Forward, West Lothian Volunteer Network and Alzheimer Scotland; further notes that the project is part of a wider range of health walks supported by Paths for All; understands that there are approximately 300,000 people living in Scotland with osteoporosis, which is an incurable health condition; believes that this figure is likely to rise as the average age of the population increases, and wishes the project continued success in helping to meet the needs of people across West Lothian.
