How do health boards cooperate with funeral directors after a death in a healthcare setting?
All health boards have protocols in place for the management of deaths in healthcare settings, including referral of the death to the medical examiner service and arranging for the death certificate. This will then allow for arrangements to be made with funeral directors for the collection of the deceased.
What action is the Welsh Government taking to ensure that people have access to palliative and end-of-life care when and where they need it?
The Welsh Government's 'Quality statement for palliative and end of life care for Wales' sets our high-level expectations, and we invest over £10.5 million a year to help ensure that anyone requiring palliative and end-of-life care in Wales has equitable access to the best possible care and support.
