Answer
The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority’s report of the review of the implementation of the Living Matters: Dying Matters Palliative and End of Life Care Strategy for adults was published on 28 January 2016.
I welcome the review’s findings that significant progress was made during the period 2010 to 2015 towards implementing the recommendations of the Living Matters: Dying Matters Strategy.
My Department will carefully consider the report’s findings and recommendations to inform the planning and delivery of quality palliative and end of life care in Northern Ireland.
