Lamb: Care pathway must improve
Families are to get a legal right to be consulted before patients are put on the "death pathway", it has been revealed.
The move follows the emergence of cases where patients were placed on the Liverpool Care Pathway - which involves withdrawal of fluids and food - without relatives' knowledge.
