Better Bones

Our ‘Better Bones’ campaign with the Sunday Express aimed to get 90,000 people with osteoporosis access to life-saving bone drugs they’re currently denied. We made the case for 44 consecutive weeks in the newspaper, building a coalition of 271 Parliamentarians.

The results: Conservatives and Labour committed to extend treatment to everyone over 50 by 2030; Health Ministers found an £88m Transformation Fund, currently being reviewed by Treasury. Wes Streeting said one of his first priorities, if elected, would be to roll-out universal diagnostic services and double the number of bone scanners. His Welsh counterpart ordered universal coverage in 18 months.
