🚨Whether assisted dying is made legal or not, the UK government must fix the gaps in palliative care.
We have a neutral position on assisted dying. We’re not for or against it.
But we do believe EVERYONE should have access to good palliative care at the end of their life.

“The principle is simple. Care should happen as locally as it can.”
It’s good to hear this from We Streeting (@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social).👏 Too many terminally ill people are being rushed to hospital in a crisis because they can’t get the care they need at home.
This has to change.

"The whole system is in a perilous state due to a lack of sustainable funding & limited prioritisation of end of life care"
Well said @munirawilson.bsky.social 👏
❗️Whether assisted dying is made legal or not, it's crucial the UK government acts to improve end of life care.

🚨 Assisted dying update
“Whilst Marie Curie is neutral on assisted dying, we’re far from neutral on improving palliative care.”
Sam, our Executive Director of Policy, shares why it’s crucial MPs back our palliative care amendment to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill today.

We agree... though what about palliative care? 🤔
People *also* rightly expect a comfortable, dignified death. But right now, too many are dying in avoidable pain, in poverty and alone - because services are underfunded & overstretched.
❗ This has to change. #SpendingReview
