Summary of report content

Healthwatch Brighton and Hove undertook a review of their report on end of life care which was published in March 2020.

Since the research took place, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for good end of life care, but it has also meant that some of the recommendations made in the previous report haven’t been implemented.

The report assesses progress against the ten recommendations made in the original report and sets out what further action Healthwatch Brighton & Hove intend to take on this topic.
