The state of end of life care: building back better after Covid-19

The state of end of life care: building back better after Covid-19 This report warns that the ‘traumatic’ final days experienced by patients sent home or to care homes to die without adequate support and resources could become the ‘new normal’ without significant reform to England’s end of life care services. The analysis found that annual deaths are projected to overtake rates seen during the 2020 pandemic year spike by 2031 - potentially exposing end of life services to the same pressures faced last year, every year from 2030 onwards. Policy recommendations focus on 'providing everyone the right care, from the right person, at the right time'. Institute for Public Policy Research
