Palliative Care (8 October 2018)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what provision he plans to make for end-of-life care in the long-term plan for the NHS.

Asked by:
Janet Daby (Labour)

Answer

Delivering improvements to end of care is a key priority for this Government and end of life care is an important part of the proposals which are helping to shape the long-term plan for National Health Service.

NHS England is now considering the many responses and submissions it has received, including those from end of life care charities, as part of the listening exercise it held to help develop and refine policy proposals for inclusion in the plan. NHS England will continue working with key stakeholders to test the plan before its publication in November 2018.
