Delete all after point 2 and replace with:

Recognises that progress has been made in widening access to hospice and palliative care in Wales and that further work is needed to establish any unmet need

a) continue to work with statutory and third sector partners to deliver on the ambition of making Wales the world’s first 'compassionate country';

b) ensure that strengthening the provision of palliative care services in Wales is made central to this approach;

c) provide consistent reporting criteria, and address gaps in data collection on adult and paediatric palliative care needs;

d) continue to monitor the mechanism of funding for charitable hospices working with the end of life board and health boards;

e)  continue to monitor and review funding provided to adult and children’s hospices in Wales.
