My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
& Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD.

If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care?

The Assisted Dying bill currently before Parliament makes worrying reading. Here's a reminder about the gaps in services recently identified by the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome & Death, for people with limited life expectancy.
The timing of this bill is simply wrong.
Timely report into current planning & coordination of end of life care: National Confidedential Enq into Pt Outcomes & Death shows gaps in services, breaching 2019 NICE guidance for commissioning & providing adequate, timely planning & delivery of #EoL care & access to palliative care teams.
