Letter from the Chief Executive, Marie
Curie Cancer Care, to the Chairman of the Committee (PC 35A)
During the second evidence session of the Committee's
inquiry into palliative care (which I thoroughly enjoyed!), I
agreed to send you further information on a couple of the issues
raised.
The Committee requested details of the regulators
which impinge on Marie Curie Cancer Care's work. I have attached
a list of these for the whole of the UK at Annex A.
Secondly, following my example of the post code
lottery of access in Yorkshire I promised to forward further details
of our nursing service provision by PCTs for the last year. I
have attached the latest figures for 2003-04 at Annex B. I should
highlight the fact that these statistics have not yet been finally
audited and therefore may change slightly. The figures highlight
the current problem of inequality of access to our services across
England and the UK and I have drawn out a couple of example to
demonstrate this.
Do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of
any further assistance.
