Proceeding contribution from Ann Keen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 January 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Musculoskeletal Conditions.


Musculoskeletal Conditions

I agree. Because those conditions are not perceived as life threatening, they are not considered serious. It is complex, but as has been said so well in this debate, the pain has a significant effect on quality of life, whether that is working life, social life or the life of a child approaching adulthood. It is important to take such conditions seriously and to consider what sufferers' future holds for them. I believe that this debate will progress that, which is why I again congratulate the hon. Member for Rochdale on securing it.
