Full-page ads have appeared in national newspapers today, highlighting the urgent need for early diagnosis clinics across England.

Professor Neil Gittoes, Chair of the Board of the Royal Osteoporosis Society said:

“Two years into this Parliament, there is still no plan to deliver the commitment made by the Health Secretary to roll out early diagnosis clinics across England. Meanwhile, an estimated 4,000 people have died following fractures that these clinics could have prevented.

We remain committed to working with Ministers to find a way forward. We continue to believe this policy is achievable, and that with the right approach it can save thousands of lives.”

A promise made 61 times.
Still no delivery plan.

Around 2,000 people die each year after fractures these clinics can prevent. Our message in The Times today: Patients need the clinics @wesstreeting promised.

Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens your bones, and the older you get, the more at risk you are of breaking them.

3.5 million people in the UK are living with it and many don't even know.
