- Title
New framework and funding for palliative care services.
- Abstract
The article reports on the launch of the Children's Palliative Care Strategy Better Care: Better Lives program by care services minister Ivan Lewis and the allocation of additional fund for improvements in palliative care services for children with life-threatening conditions in England in 2008. The £20 million fund means that the government support for children's hospice services will be extended for two years. The program urges local commissioners, providers and regulators to develop strategies to provide such children access to quality care.
