The Homecare Association has responded to the Palliative and End of Life Care Commission's call for evidence.
In our submission, we highlight challenges and opportunities in providing quality end-of-life care at home. Drawing on workforce data, economic modelling, and recent research, we show how underfunding of homecare directly compromises the UK's ability to honour people's preferences for community-based dying while proposing actionable solutions aligned with NHS Long-Term Plan priorities.
