Since its publication, NHS England has been working to deliver the Choice Commitment, as set out in the Government’s Mandate to the National Health Service. Through its National Programme Board for End of life Care, a range of activity has been coordinated and undertaken with all key system partners care and stakeholders to improve equity of access to, and experience of, palliative and end of life care. A progress report was published the following year on 21 September 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Key to reducing variation and delivering personalised care is ensuring that patients are identified as likely to be in their last year of life. This means their end of life care can be improved by personalising it according to their needs and preferences at an earlier stage. However, it is also vital that services are available to provide the care to people in the community and in their homes in a timely way. The Long Term Plan published on 7 January 2019, set out significant investment and activity to drive further improvement in both these areas in support of the Government’s Choice Commitment.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 07/05/2019 11:00:31 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

We have already provided £3.2 billion to local authorities and have made a £600 million Infection Control Fund available to care homes to allow them to take additional steps to reduce the spread.</p><p>Under the Care Act 2014, local authorities are required to shape their whole local markets to ensure that they are sustainable, diverse and offer high quality care and support for people in their local area.
