That the Parliament welcomes the new national analysis from Marie Curie, Unmet Need for Palliative Care in Scotland; understands that this research uses a new methodology developed through the DUECare Project, involving King’s College London, Hull York Medical School, and the University of Edinburgh; believes that the findings provide a more accurate baseline for the country, showing that almost one in three people in Scotland die with unmet palliative care needs; understands that according to this research, "unmet palliative care need" is measured as a person with life-limiting illness experiencing significant unaddressed symptoms or concerns alongside inadequate access to GP services; considers the report’s findings that approximately 18,500 people in Scotland die each year without the support they require; believes that Scotland faces a widening gap between the care people need at the end of life and what the current system provides; considers that to bridge this gap, palliative care must be established as a right that can be realised, and notes the call that the next Scottish Government must commit to and legislate to deliver a Right to Palliative Care to ensure equitable, person centred support for all, and to drive sustainable resourcing of palliative care and incentivise investment in community care.
