<p>The Major Conditions Strategy will look to tackle the six major condition groups
including musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. In August 2023, we set out our initial
plans in the online-only <em>Major Conditions Strategy:Case for change and our strategic
framework</em> including that we will look to, together with NHS England, explore
supporting the provision of fracture liaison services.</p><p>There are no current
plans to ask the Royal Osteoporosis Society to establish ‘lived experience’ focus
groups for people with Osteoporosis. However, the Department has worked closely with
stakeholders to develop the Major Conditions Strategy including people with lived
experience and organisations representing patients, carers, and conditions. This includes
engagement with the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance, an umbrella body bringing
together patient organisations and professional bodies representing the breadth of
MSK health. The development of the strategy has also been informed by the Call for
Evidence, which received over 400 responses from both individuals and organisations.
Our intention is to publish the Major Conditions Strategy early this year.</p>
