Lord MacKenzie of Culkein – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord MacKenzie of Culkein on 2016-02-26.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they will respond to the report A Review of Choice at the End of Life, published by the End of Life Coalition in February 2015.

Lord Prior of Brampton

The Department commissioned the independently-led Review of Choice in End of Life Care which provided advice to Ministers last year. The Review set out a vision for enabling greater choice and improving quality at the end of life for every dying person.

We want to ensure that patients have greater choice about the care they receive at the end of their life and we are working with NHS England to see how this can best be achieved. We will set out our full response to the Choice Review shortly.
