PETITION TO RESTORE PALLIATIVE CARE FUNDING

In the last State budget, the Minns government slashed $150 million from palliative care. The Government’s cruel cuts to palliative care funding undermine the important ability of patients to make choices when approaching death.
We are campaigning against these cuts.
Please sign the petition to call on the government to restore palliative care funding.
The purpose of the petition is to:

·       Indicate to the government how strongly their citizens believe in palliative care;

·       Oppose these cruel cuts in funding;

·       Hopefully restore this funding to the dying, or at the least quarantine palliative care from any further funding cuts;

·       Provide an opportunity for this issue to be raised again in Parliament and in public debate; and

·       If we get enough signatures, require the government to provide a formal answer to the matters raised in the petition.
