What Professor Allan Kellehear, OBE has said

  • “A staggering number of people who need support with end-of-life care are being failed by a system that concentrates funding almost entirely on prohibitively expensive clinical care rather than helping them in their homes and communities. At present, billions of pounds are being poured into end-of-life care but is that money being used efficiently? I think not. So we are calling for a new commission to bring together all the major clinical, social, public health, and community supports and services under one roof.”
