Question
To ask the Scottish Government what progress has been made to ensure that the new national strategy for palliative and end of life care addresses the needs of children.
Answer
Children’s palliative care is an integral part of the new strategy on palliative care currently being developed. In addition to representatives of palliative care for children and young people on the Strategy Steering Group, we have established a Children and Young People’s Working Group to develop new actions which will contribute to meeting the needs of children and young people and their families.
