Too many people still miss out on the palliative and end-of-life care they need. Our Chief Executive @jamescsanderson.bsky.social shares why recent political change must be a turning point: sueryder.org/blog/the-opportunity-to-transform-palliative-and-end-of-life-care-cant-be-missed/

Our Chief Executive Officer @jamescsanderson.bsky.social has responded to Andy Burnham’s speech on social care this morning.

A white graphic with blue text from Sue Ryder. James Sanderson, chief executive at the palliative care and bereavement charity Sue Ryder, says:
“When people with terminal illness are stuck in hospital, they aren’t thinking about whether it’s social care or health care they need. They just need the system to put the care in place that is right for them.
“Too often the bureaucracy between health care and social care creates unnecessary delays. It means people die in busy, noisy hospital wards and corridors instead of being surrounded by the people they love, and in the place they most want to be - home.
“We welcome the Government’s announcement that they want to fix social care. And we are ready to support delivering the reforms needed so that people who are dying receive the end-of-life care they deserve.”

Quote from Sue Ryder Chief Executive James Sanderson reads "The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill may be concluding in Parliament, but the Government's focus on end-of-life care reform cannot die with that bill."

The gap between what constitutes healthcare and social care has been rightly identified by Baroness Casey as a very real issue that causes unnecessary pain and suffering for a great many people with a terminal illness and their families.

Leanne Creighton, Head of Policy, Campaigns and Public Affairs at Sue Ryder, says:
This divide between the NHS and council-led social care leads to people being passed from pillar to post, without the care and support they need to manage their symptoms and live their lives well. People facing the most challenging conditions, including dementia, are often the most punished as they are forced into a system of bureaucracy, rather than one that wraps care and support around them. This system is long overdue an overhaul so it can put people ahead of processes and respect ahead of red tape.

Sue Ryder@sueryder· Mar 3

The Government’s Modern Service Framework for palliative care must be resourced so that palliative care can reach everyone who needs it. Read our Chief Executive, @jamescsanderson.bsky.social's response here:

First half of quote from Sue Ryder Chief Executive James Sanderson: The absence of any big funding announcements, including for palliative care, means the Government’s plan for palliative care, its Modern Service Framework, really needs to deliver later this year. Following engagement with Sue Ryder, we’re encouraged by the direction the Government is taking and its framework has the potential to be transformative for people with a terminal illness. Without dedicated funding, however, the framework alone will be insufficient to deliver the reform required.

Quote continues:
One third of the people in a hospital bed right now are in the last year of life. This places huge pressure on the NHS and most of these people would rather be receiving care at home, surrounded by the people they love. The palliative care sector could deliver that last wish for more people if the Government redirects healthcare funding, allowing us to expand the care we provide beyond hospices and into people’s homes.
This Government has shown the value it places in palliative care with grants, but one-off payments won’t facilitate the new models of care needed to meet the rising and increasingly complex demand for care.
