Today the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has published a report, Dying without Dignity based on complaints investigated by the Ombudsman. The report concludes that thousands of dying patients are being let down by poor end-of-life care provision in England.
The end of our lives is something we often don’t want to think about, let alone talk about. However, next week 18th-24th May 2015 Dying Matters are holding their annual awareness week about end-of-life rights and choices. My Life, My Decision will be holding events all over the country as part of the week.
Compassion in Dying welcomes this report which makes important recommendations around improving access to end of life care and ensuring patients’ choices are known about and respected at the end of life.
