Thank you Kellie Armstrong for highlighting the plight of NI's 220,000 unpaid carers in the Assembly today. They are struggling with poverty, financial hardship & poor mental health. With our population ageing rapidly, the need for carers today & in tomorrows world has never been greater.

Thank you to the staff of Marie Curie NI for your engagement during the visit today, but more importantly for the work you all do providing expert and compassionate palliative care for our citizens.

The recognition of people at end of life in the NI #PfG is long awaited. It is a welcome first step to addressing their needs & the barriers they face to care.

As Chair of the APG Terminal Illness it was wonderful to hear you confirm death, dying and bereavement is included in the PfG. The 10,000+ people that campaigned for it are grateful for your support Joanne Bunting DUP

Thanks for attending this important event. A really great opp to hear from the pharmacist networks on how these standards help them to support those impacted by terminal illness in the community.

Great to attend the launch of "daffodil standards for pharmacy" - it's important to celebrate and recognise the role of our pharmacy community in NI and the critical part they play in caring for those requiring palliative and end of life care. 🌼👩‍⚕️

We need to fix our social security system so no one dies in poverty. Giving working age people diagnosed with a terminal illness a pension level income guarantee is one way of assuring this. We need to find a solution. Great to see this motion debated in the NI Assembly chamber.

Marie Curie NI (@mariecurieni) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Whilst the levers of change on opening up the pension system to working age people with a terminal illness sit in Westminster. Our NI Assembly has an important role in raising this issue for people in NI. Very encouraging to see this debate yesterday.
