Sue Ryder is very disappointed with the CQC report into Wheatfields hospice, which we believe is misleading and unnecessarily alarming.

Sue Ryder's Chief Executive comments on today's news that the Royal College of Physicians are calling for a public campaign on end-of-life care and a national strategy on how such care for dying people can be delivered.
