A clip (and vote) which leads to the heart of some harsh and very disturbing realities.
Dan Hitchens@ddhitchens

Should each assisted suicide applicant get a meeting with a palliative care specialist? When MPs proposed this, care minister Stephen Kinnock raised a “concern” that it “would increase demand for palliative care specialists”. He joined Kim Leadbeater in voting down the proposal.

Letter from the Cab Sec setting out SG position on the Assisted Dying Bill. SG expects costs to be "substantially higher" than set out in the Financial Memorandum. Also "the Bill in its current form is outside the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament" 1/2

Latest paper highlights that deaths at home in Scotland(#DaH) throughout the pandemic, rose by 35% and continue to rise. The impact that this has on quality of #care, quality of #death and unpaid #carers requires further study. #ADRScotland @adr_uk bit.ly/3YPjF92

Today we remember the one and only Dr Kate Granger MBE who died on this day in 2016. Kate was an inspiration to thousands across the NHS and her legacy lives on in so much of what we do. 2023 marks 10 years since she launched the #HelloMyNameIs campaign.

Acute care is shaped by an ideology of rescue which predicted and dictated the process of care. Suffering was not restricted to the experiences of life-limiting illness but also receiving care in an acute hospital setting. #hpm #hapc #hospice buff.ly/3JXIzgm

Finally, we can talk about SEECareUK. The first ever prospective UK wide evaluation of care of dying people in hospitals, with a focus on those not supported by specialists in palliative care. In those reviewed, there was near universal unmet need. tinyurl.com/SEECareUK
