That the Parliament commends Versus Arthritis on the publication of its Workplace Adjustment Plan tool, which provides people with arthritis and musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions a step-by-step approach to finding information, adjustments and support to work well with their condition; believes that MSK conditions are one of the main reasons given for economic inactivity due to ill health and that over 20 million working days a year are lost in the UK due to them; asks the Scottish Government to ensure that the Workplace Adjustment Plan tool is promoted through its Fair Work agenda and activity, and encourages MSPs to recognise the impact of arthritis and MSK conditions on their constituents' lives, and to obtain copies of the Workplace Adjustment Plan tool for their constituency offices and surgeries.
