About the report

Text

From the foreword by Mark Isherwood MS, Chair of the Cross Party Group:

"It is clear from the contributions to our inquiry that the Covid 19 pandemic turned the world of palliative care on its head, dramatically disrupting the lives of individuals at end of life, their loved ones and the health and social care workers supporting them.

"I would like to express my thanks and gratitude to the family members, carers, nurses, doctors and many others who generously shared their often heart-breaking, but also uplifting and insightful accounts of caring for some of our most vulnerable citizens through the most testing of times.

"Our inquiry sought to give people and organisations at the very sharp end of the pandemic a voice and a platform. We wanted to learn from their experiences of end of life care at home and in care homes so we are better prepared for any future disaster and better placed to meet the ongoing impacts of Covid and the cost of living crisis."
