Palliative Care Queensland president Associate Professor Rohan Vora warned that some of the forum presentations would be confronting.
He said this was essential to provide an opportunity to demystify the process of death as well as discuss the reasons why [b]many Queenslanders still died without having their pain well managed[/b].
“The problem is that funding to palliative care services in Queensland has not kept pace with the growing referral rates therefore there is much less funding available to us to ensure that people die comfortable dignified deaths” he said.
