All Party Parliamentary Group Inquiry into Palliative Care
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a cross-party group of MPs and Peers with an interest in MND. The Group recently held a public inquiry into access to specialist palliative care services for people with MND living in England. This is the first inquiry to be held by the Group.
The Inquiry's summary report was launched in Westminster on March 10, and can be found on the right of this page.
It found that access to services is patchy, services are fragmented and funding is under pressure. Access to palliative care remains a postcode lottery for many people with MND, with some people living with MND receiving excellent palliative care, whilst many others do not.
Evidence was collected from a wide range of individuals and professionals including people with MND, past carers, neurologists, palliative care consultants, hospices and charities. Members from the All Party Parliamentary Group on MND also heard people’s own experiences and accounts of the services during four evidence sessions held at Westminster.
The call for evidence is available, for reference, on the right of this page.
