📢 We've just published our Better End of Life Report.
People have told us that access to high-quality palliative and end of life care is patchy, inconsistent, and inequitable. But better care is possible.

This is Great Britain and the likes of @Nigel_Farage who stir up so much hate & division can just get in the sea.
