Members of the public have been invited to share their experiences of the Liverpool Care Pathway, both good and bad aspects, as part of an independent review being chaired by Baroness Julia Neuberger.

Patient feedback will be included in the independent review of the pathway, which was announced last November by care and support minister Norman Lamb.

The review, launched in January aims to investigate concerns raised around use of target-driven financial incentives and accounts of care failings, including the withdrawal of foods and fluids from dying patients.
