PUBLIC SECT0R BRIEFS: Arthritis Care urged to lobby

CHARITY: Arthritis Care and Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance are urging those suffering from the condition to lobby their local MPs directly, to gain better access to treatment. The charities believe the disease has been neglected by Government. Extra funding is being called for to make treatment more accessible and for medical research. Arthritis affects an estimated one in five Britons.
