How local health and care plans overlook the needs of dying people More than a third (34 per cent) of Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) do not consider the needs of dying people in their assessments of the health and care needs of their local populations, according to a new report which highlights that end of life care is being overlooked by many health and care leaders in England.
The report (download), published today by the charity Hospice UK, also shows that well over half (57 per cent) of HWBs do not include the needs of dying adults and children in their key strategies that inform local service planning, with no change since 2014.
