Statement 2: Adults approaching the end of their life have opportunities to discuss advance care planning. [new 2021]

Statement 3: Adults approaching the end of their life receive care that is coordinated between health and social care practitioners within and across different services and organisations. [2011, updated 2021]

Statement 4 :Adults approaching the end of their life and their carers have access to support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. [2011, updated 2021]
