We see opportunities to provide a better end of life for all in today’s #KingsSpeech. Change is urgently needed. Right now, 1 in 4 people die without the right support. 90,000 die in poverty every year. We’re ready to work with the government to fix end of life care. 💪👇

Delighted to see Sir Stephen Timms appointed as Minister for Social Security and Disability. Marie Curie Policy & Public Affairs very much looks forward to working with him to ensure the social security system works for all those living with terminal illness. mariecurie.org.uk/media/press-re…

On "scrapping" the 2 child cap- worth noting that the rate of child addition for 3rd+ child does not need to be set at same as 1st/2nd. So even if there were not the money to "scrap" the 2 child cap altogether, that's not really reason to do nothing about it.

When someone's dying or grieving, getting things in order can be overwhelming, especially if people at the companies you're dealing with don't understand what you're going through. This has to change. Sign Marie Curie's petition to #MakeSadminSimple: campaigns.mariecurie.org.uk/page/152537/ac…

If a woman doesn’t speak English, she is 25 times (!!!) more likely to die in childbirth in the UK. Horrific theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/a…

I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS. I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.

📢 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. Here's 3 key things you need to know... 👇

'People don’t always die between the hours of 9am and 5pm. People need care and access to medication 24/7. There aren’t the resources to cover those extra hours, meaning people simply end up in A&E, where they often die – and die alone. Read Sarah Holmes in this mornings

Wow this is exciting - PM is surprise speaker The King's Fund conference today talking on Darzi report. Great to hear him lead on need for reform to achieve neighbourhood health service - Labour promised #palliative care would be part of this in their manifesto!

Unexpected but very welcome visit from Mick Lynch in support of action to stop people dying in poverty. We could not get the screen working so he kindly agreed to kneel down in support of people of working age having access to the state pension!

We often talk about the taboo on talking about death and dying- but to what extent is that really the case? Find out more on this, and what matters most to people at the end of life in the latest "Public Attitudes to Death and Dying" report from Marie Curie Research Centre, Cardiff @SilviaGoss1

Today I wrote for WalesOnline 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 about my own personal experiences of bereavement, Marie Curie Cymru’s latest research and why political parties need to start thinking deeply about how we transform end of life care services in Wales.

Really pleased to see Jeremy Miles and Welsh Government setting out the direction for palliative and end of life care services in Wales. We've got a way to go, but the team at Marie Curie Cymru will keep working with you to fix end of life care.
