Motion text

That this House recognises that 10 million people in the UK are living and working with arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions; further recognises that the pain, isolation and fatigue of arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions can affect every aspect of the daily lives of the people living with these conditions, interfering with everyday activities, whether that be at work, travelling or enjoying leisure time; recognises that the prevalence of arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions is set to increase due to rising obesity and the ageing population and that this increased prevalence will have a knock-on impact on health and care services unless action is taken; and recognises the need to raise awareness of the condition in the run-up to World Arthritis Day and supports Arthritis Research UK's Share Your Everyday campaign so that hon. Members can share their experiences of arthritis and encourage others across the country to do the same, helping millions to push back the limits of their condition.
