Mail on Sunday War on Osteoporosis campaign: It’s very troubling that Ministers say there’s no plan or milestones to achieve their policy of Fracture Liaison Services in every area, despite having reiterated the pledge over 70 times in Parliament. Pls rescue this @jamesmurray_ldn @SharonHodgsonMP

Beyond thrilled to have been given this lovely trophy at the Welsh Government Bone Health conference. Wales has trebled its fracture identification rate over the last three years. It’s been so amazing to see. #daiiawn #betterbones

Mail on Sunday War on Osteoporosis campaign: New figures show 164,000 women have suffered life-changing fractures due to the delivery gap on the Government’s osteoporosis policy. We’re asking @jamesmurray_ldn @SharonHodgsonMP to publish a plan before recess to rescue the policy.

Our CEO Craig Jones has shared a special message for Volunteers’ Week, thanking the incredible volunteers who help drive our mission forward.
From running support groups and advocating for change, to sharing lived experience that shapes our services, volunteers play a vital role in helping us support the 3.5 million people living with osteoporosis across the UK.
Thank you for standing shoulder to shoulder with us and offering so much support 🩷 #VolunteersWeek

I’ll be on @LBC with @IainDale at 7.45pm to discuss the consequences of the two year delay to Fracture Liaison Services. Every year the Government waits to fulfil their pledge, another 2,000 people with osteoporosis die unnecessarily. Appealing to @jamesmurray_ldn and @SharonHodgsonMP to rescue this life-saving policy.

I’ll be on Women’s Hour at 10am talking about the two year delay to Fracture Liaison Services. 4,000 people have died since the election following hip fractures a timely rollout would have prevented. Women hoping for @SharonHodgsonMP & @jamesmurray_ldn to rescue the policy. @DHSCgovuk

Alan Milburn’s review is focused on young people, but the lesson is wider: health policy is now participation policy.
For people over 50, Fracture Liaison Services can prevent avoidable fractures, reduce NHS pressure and help people stay active. (1/2)

Osteoporotic fractures cost employers £142m a year in sickness costs and are associated with 1.5m sick days every year.
@jamesmurray_ldn, this is a prevention win waiting to happen.

Yesterday, Lord Black urged the Government not just to restate its commitment to universal FLS by 2030, but to take action, with a timetable, resources and the start of delivery, so we can save lives, money and tackle inequalities @jamesmurray_ldn @SharonHodgsonMP

Huge congratulations to @jamesmurray_ldn in becoming Health Secretary. I knew James through local politics in Islington and always found him kind, thoughtful and exceptionally strong on policy. Everyone at the Royal Osteoporosis Society looks forward to working with him.

Eluned Morgan, @PrifWeinidog , was the first leader to take osteoporosis seriously and committed her government to getting on top of it by 2030. Officials were proactive because she said this was important. Thank you for your leadership, Eluned. @WelshLabour

What does delivery actually look like in practice?
This week, @CSWnews highlighted the gap between ambition and implementation on osteoporosis early diagnosis services.
Over 2 years since the commitment, a funded delivery plan still hasn’t been published by @wesstreeting and @SharonHodgsonMP.
