Hospices And Palliative Care
EDM number 1242 in 2005-06, proposed by Fabian Hamilton on 12/12/2005.
That this House pays tribute to the unique role local hospices play in enabling people to live independently at the end of life, often within their own homes; recognises the excellent role they provide in advising other health care professionals, including general practitioners, on the provision of palliative care; welcomes the Government's commitment to double the investment in palliative care confirmed at the All Party Parliamentary Hospice and Palliative Care Group meeting in October; and calls on the Government to ensure that this investment is used to maintain hospice services which are so vital to local communities.
This motion has been signed by a total of 100 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
