The Scottish Government has unveiled a new five-year strategy, Palliative Care Matters for All (2025–2030), alongside an initial delivery plan for 2025–2028.

Developed with NHS Scotland, charities, and those with lived experience, the strategy aims to improve care for people of all ages with life-shortening conditions, and support their families and carers.

This strategy has two overarching aims. These are underpinned by eight outcomes that set out the changes we hope to achieve. The strategy delivery plan has 23 actions and describes the steps and governance needed to deliver them.

Enabling people and communities

Scotland is a place where people of all ages and their communities can help and support each other to live as well as possible with life shortening conditions, dying, death and bereavement.

Strengthening palliative care

People of all ages with life shortening conditions and their families and carers receive palliative care, care around dying and bereavement support based on what matters to them.
