Only that at CIHR we are investing in palliative care research and looking at a number of issues associated with palliative care. We have, in particular, with a number of partners, recently invested $16.5 million in an initiative called “palliative and end-of-life care initiative", to look exactly at these issues.
The outcomes of these investments are really making a difference in the health care system. For example, research by Dr. Kirk and Dr. Lau on the palliative performance scale has now informed new eligibility criteria for the British Columbia palliative care benefits program.
