LIVERPOOL CARE PATHWAY I welcome the announcement that it is expected that the review of the Liverpool Care Pathway, led by Baroness Julia Neuberger, will recommend that it is to be phased out. I have never been very happy with it although I believe the intentions to be commendable. It is also expected to recommend that incentive payments for staff who put patients on end-of-life treatment plans should be banned, describing them as "totally unacceptable" According to The Guardian report: ”the regime was originally developed to allow terminally ill patients a peaceful and dignified death. But it came under intense criticism amid claims that it was being used to hasten deaths, clear beds and save money.” You can read an excellent article by the RC Bishop of Portsmouth here: catholicismpure.wordpress/
