Liverpool Care pathway concerns must be challenged, says minister
Failings in the operation of a controversial death "pathway” for terminally ill patients must be challenged, the care minister insisted.
Norman Lamb said he was “absolutely determined” to prevent a repeat of cases in which families of people given intensive end of life care claimed they were not consulted or even informed when treatment was withdrawn from their loved-ones.
He was speaking after research for The Daily Telegraph disclosed that hospital trusts have been paid millions of pounds in recent years for hitting targets associated with use of the Liverpool care Pathway.
In some cases trusts have set goals explicitly requiring them to ensure that a set number of dying patients are placed on the pathway.

It would be kinder to shoot people in the head than to subject them to what NHS newspeak calls a 'care pathway'.
If and when I am diagnosed with a terminal illness, I fully intend to end my own life, my own way, rather than put myself in the hands of the NHS. Personally I'm leaning towards carbon monoxide; seems quite a peaceful way to go and certainly better than being dehydrated to death by my local death camp, sorry, 'hospital'.

"Population Control" is upon us.
How can "euthanasia" be denied to those who personally beg for it
but the medical profession have the right to put the "unaware" or "unwilling" to death?...
