End of Life Care

Proceeding contribution from Andrea Jenkyns (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 March 2016. It occurred during Estimates day on End of Life Care.

My own father died at home. The Government’s response to the report states that a priority is to ensure that families are kept in the loop in the final days, but in our case, we did not know it was my father’s final days. A nurse turned up on the last day with an end of life care kit. In front of my father she said, “Here’s the end of life care kit,” and he died a few hours later. Does my hon. Friend agree that better communication is needed with those who want to die at home?
