The Department of Health committed to investing 286 million pounds over the two years to 2011 to support implementation of this End of Life Care Strategy. That is 286 million pounds spent to assist people on their path to the next world while denying them the necessary funding to remain alive and well in this. That is because it is the cheaper option.
Doctors in our local surgeries, hospitals and health care centres are providing us with treatments based on our illness, our age, our families. A Daily Mail article explains how doctors tend to late-diagnose older patients or provide them with less beneficial treatments. The elderly are routinely denied surgery or drugs.

It is not scientifically possible to diagnose impending death as the LCP purports to do. The LCP is instead an assessment of the perceived quality of life of the patient by the medical team and as such is euthanasia.

Particularly when the patient is a wife, a mother, a business partner and only 49years old!

Can we trust that the LCP is only being used to ease the process of dying and not to hasten death itself.There is always talk of 'evidence based medicine.' I insist on the right to 'evidence based trust.'
Please do continue to register your support for these petitions.
Remember, complacency always permits the unthinkable to become thinkable and the unacceptable to become possible.

To stand by and do nothing while a wrong proceeds unchallenged is to be complicit in it.
