Palliative Care
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to publish a national strategy for palliative and end of life care.
- Answer
-
The Government is developing a Palliative Care and End-of-Life Care Modern Service Framework (MSF) for England, for publication later this year.
The MSF will drive improvements in the services that patients and their families receive at the end of life and will enable integrated care boards to address challenges in access, quality, and sustainability through the delivery of high-quality, personalised care. This will be aligned with the ambitions set out in last year’s 10-Year Health Plan.
Further information about the MSF is set out in my Written Statement HCWS1087, made on 24 November 2025.
