It was brought to my ateotnitn that you signed up to the Liverpool Care Pathway back in September 2012 and I have sent a lteter to Michelle Mitchell. I was wondering whether you have been made aware or knew about the number of cases of patients who were NOT terminally ill, who without any reason, have been placed on this pathway and without the knowledge of their families? You might think that the people who have come forward to share their stories have all jumped in on the bandwagon, but no, they are all genuine grieving relatives, like me, who are deeply upset because they feel they have been duped into thinking that the Liverpool Care Pathway means their loved ones are being looked after because they are terminally ill. In many cases where relatives have been more informed about LCP that they have forced doctors to re-think and reverse the pathway procedure and these loved ones have then recovered. I wish I knew then what I know now as I might still have my dad with me today.The generic Liverpool Care Pathway procedures state that there are four main conditions a multi-professional team have had to agree to under which a patient would be committed to the Liverpool Care Pathway which are:•The patient is bed bound•Semi-comatose•Only able to take sips of fluids•No longer able to take tablets.However many relatives have stated that their loved ones died because they were selected by doctors who had not consulted with them and had not referred to these conditions. It has since emerged that there are payments to NHS Commissioners for fulfilling their targets and these are called CQUIN payments (Commission for Quality and Innovation) and these payments could be seen by some as an incentive to put a patient on the Liverpool Care Pathway in order to receive the funding, often to ailing hospitals.It is all very well to eulogise what SHOULD happen but there are several pages on Facebook of families and relatives who have had BAD experiences. So do you really feel confident that you are happy you are in with the right organisation (LCP) because I have to say when this explodes (and I leading a campaign to stop the misuse) I would not like to be in your shoes. I welcome your reply .. I lost my dad through being on the Liverpool Care Pathway when he was not terminally ill. Put yourself in my shoes and think how you would feel if it was your dad.Yours sincerelyDenise (this is a copy of a letter I sent to Michelle)
