Thank you, Chair.
I would like to know, what is “palliative care”? The reason I'm asking is that I heard recently of a friend whose husband had colon cancer and was in palliative care. He was effectively starved and not given fluids. His muscles contracted, and it seemed that he was in more pain. It was an extraordinary story. The whole family suffered—the child, the wife, and so on.
Could you tell me what it is you mean by palliative care?
