Together for Short Lives (TfSL) has set out a five-year strategy to improve children’s palliative across the UK

There are at least 49,000 children with life-limiting conditions across the UK, with this number set to rise. Meanwhile funding is failing to keep pace.
 

The charity’s new strategy for 2018-2023, called “Together for the 49,000+”, focuses on achieving positive change for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, their families, and those that support them.

The strategy was informed by a wide-ranging conversation with families, members and stakeholders.

TfSL state that there are at least 49,000 children with life-limiting conditions across the UK, with this number set to rise as more seriously ill babies are surviving, and children and young people are living longer with more complex conditions.
