New Palliative Care System for England

Yesterday, an independent review for the UK Secretary of State for Health issued a 100-page report, "Finding the Right Care and Support for Everyone."  The report finds that nearly 100,000 are not getting good palliative care.  The report addresses how the state funds a good, safe death, and it proposes a per-patient funding mechanism for palliative care.  The report's recommendations promise not only to deliver better outcomes for patients but also to provide better value for the NHS.
