Arthritis ‘impacting people’s ability to work’

Arthritis UK surveyed more than 8,000 people, with 1,021 from Scotland, and found arthritis is a leading cause of disability in the country.

It’s a debilitating daily struggle that affects one in three people in Scotland.

But many suffering with arthritis say they’re unsupported and unable to work.

Arthritis UK say long delays for diagnosis and a lack of treatment options has led to a ticking timebomb of costs that Scotland will struggle with if urgent action isn’t taken.
