The assisted dying Bill ran out of time in the last session of Parliament earlier this yearEnd-of-life care can be improved at the same time as legalising assisted dying, the MP behind the campaign to do so has insisted after Andy Burnham said he believes palliative care needs to be fixed first. “That is the fixing of the funding of palliative care and social care. She welcomed Mr Burnham’s “commitment to tackling the crisis in social care” and said everyone wants “to see better social, palliative and hospice care in every part of the country”. She added: “The Government has already made better palliative care provision a priority and it is very welcome that the new Prime Minister wants to take that even further. “It’s really welcome that the PM recognises this and has committed the Government to fixing our broken social care system.”
