A Good death: time to think - consultation
A consultation on the UK's first ever charter for A Good Death was launched at a majore event in Newcastle on 5 October. The pioneering charter sets out proposals for the kind of care and support which people who are dying, their families and carers, can expect. Once agreed, it will guide those who plan and provide end of life care and support. Its longer term aim is to change public attitudes and behaviours so that death is seen as a normal, accepted part of life.
