We have not sought a prescriptive approach to staffing levels, for example by setting minimum levels of staffing for all services, because minimum staffing numbers and ratios do not take account of the local circumstances, skill mix or case mix. Such an approach can lead to a lack of flexibility or organisations seeking to achieve staffing levels only in accordance with a minimum ratio.<\/p>"}

The National Cancer Programme is committed to rolling out stratified follow-up pathways in breast cancer by 2020 to ensure patients get the right care after treatment, including information and support to spot signs and symptoms of recurrence or secondary cancer. As well as providing a better experience for patients and ensuring they have the information they need, stratified pathways can offer more effective use of resources by freeing up outpatient capacity. They can also ensure that in cases where there is recurrence or secondary cancer, patients are supported to return to care quickly and effectively.<\/p>

On 5 July 2016 we published \u2018Our Commitment to you for end of life care\u2019, which set out what everyone should expect from their care at the end of life and the actions we are taking to make high quality, personalised care a reality for everyone by 2020. Over the last 12 months the National End of Life Care Programme Board has been taking forward implementation, and we are aiming to publish a progress report on the delivery of the Commitment this summer. This progress report will also set out the work being undertaken by the Programme Board to engage local Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships to support service planning for end of life of care and to embed choice. \u2018Our Commitment to you for end of life care\u2019 can be found at the following link:<\/p>
www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/536326/choice-response.pdf<\/a><\/p>Information regarding the proportion of people with access to advance care planning in advance of their death is not collected. However, the Government commitment also set out plans to will work with voluntary sector partners to raise public awareness nationally of issues around death and dying and the importance of enabling individuals to make end of life care plans in advance. NHS England contributed funding to the Dying Matters campaign in 2016/17 and also promoted Dying Matters Week via the National End of Life Care Programme Board and through the National Palliative and End of Life Care Network.<\/p>

We know there are inequities in terms of access to, and experience of, end of life care for lower socio-economic groups. Public Health England\u2019s National End of Life Care Intelligence Network has published \u2018What we know data\u2019 reports that have linked lower socioeconomic status to lower rates of home death. That is why the \u2018Ambitions for Palliative and End of Life Care, a national framework for local action\u2019, includes \u2018fair access to care\u2019 as one of the six Ambitions. The framework was developed and signed up to by over 27 partners from across the system and the Government is supportive of its work. The Public Health England reports and information about the Ambitions Framework and the partnership can be found at the following links:<\/p>
