A low priority? How local health and care plans overlook the needs of dying people
This report examines local health planning and needs assessments in relation to dying people and finds that 34 per cent of health and wellbeing boards do not take into account end of life care needs. In addition to this, 27 per cent of CCGs do not have a strategy for addressing end of life care for adults in their area, with the figure rising to 71 per cent for children and young people. The report calls for greater collaboration in order to better cater for local palliative and terminal care needs. Hospice UK
