Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham has supported the strengthening of palliative care following comments made by Prime Minister Andy Burnham last week. The archbishop said that palliative care gives “real options” and a “dignified approach” to those facing the end of their lives.
Archbishop Longley said: “The dignity of human life and the precious gift of human life is very important, and indeed the preservation of life is something which is at the heart of what we share in common as Christians, but with many other people of faith or of no faith at all.”
