Marie Curie CHAS Rest Assured Home Service

Lodged by Michael McMahon Standard Motion 33 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the Marie Curie Cancer Care and Children’s Hospice Association (CHAS) on its recently launched Rest Assured Home Service for young adults; notes that the service will support young people over 16 with life limiting conditions to make the transition from children’s hospices to adult services and receive care at home at the end of life; understands that there is a very small number of young people who have palliative care needs; recognises that care in a children’s hospice or adult hospice is not always the most appropriate place and that care for young adults with palliative care needs is specific; acknowledges that many young people and their families struggle with the transition from children's to adult services; notes that transition issues were highlighted in the Scottish Government’s report, Living and Dying Well: Reflecting on Progress, and supports its recommendations, which it considers should be implemented in full across Scotland.
