<p>In April 2016, NHS England updated its guidance <em>Commissioning Person Centred
End of Life Care: A Toolkit for Health and Social Care</em>. This document highlighted
that fundamental to any commissioning plan for end of life care is a local strategy,
jointly developed with local people and key partners, clearly setting out a vision
for end of life and palliative care. Included in this are examples of how working
with third sector organisations can benefit service provision for palliative care
services, as well as links to guidance from these organisations. A copy of the toolkit
is attached.</p><p>In addition, <em>Our Commitment to you for end of life care</em>
published on 5 July 2016, highlighted that the Department will work with the National
Partnership for Palliative and End of Life Care and the End of Life Care Coalition
of charities to promote the implementation of the Ambitions for Palliative and End
of Life Care Framework in local areas. A copy of the report is attached.</p>
