That this House is concerned to learn that it is estimated that musculoskeletal disorders affect 1,155,000 people in the UK, resulting in about 12 million GP consultations and seven million physiotherapy sessions each year; welcomes the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists' offer to provide a 'drop in clinic' for honourable Members on Wednesday 28th November; and takes this opportunity to urge the Government to keep to its pledge to increase the number of physiotherapists by 59 per cent. by 2009.
