Palliative Care
- Question
-
What progress he has made on ensuring the adequate provision of palliative care.
- Answer
-
This government is launching a new framework this autumn to fix unfair gaps in palliative care and end-of-life care.
The framework, being developed with a range of stakeholders, will tackle rising demand, help identify patient needs much earlier, and makes sure everyone receives the high-quality support they deserve.
These actions aim to eliminate postcode lotteries so that standards of care no longer depend on where you live.
