“Major funding issues, workforce shortages, a postcode lottery for access to services, huge gaps in out of hours care and an aging population – palliative and end of life care in the UK is in crisis.”
What Matthew Reed has said
“The mark of a civilised society is how we look after the most vulnerable. There's no reason why in an advanced economy we can't get this right. End-of-life care is not a surprise – we're all going to need it one day. We should be planning as a society for how we get that right for people”
