The Association for Palliative Medicine is calling for a government-led commission to improve end-of-life care.

It warns shortages of funding and poor coordination is denying dying people access.

MPs voted on Friday to back changing the law in England and Wales to allow assisted dying.

It is just the first parliamentary hurdle the bill needs to pass.
