Comment published
Marie Curie’s response to the Care Quality Commission press release following an inspection that found the quality of care provided by the Marie Curie North East Nursing Service to be Outstanding.
Audrey Rowe, Regional Manager at Marie Curie, said: "I'm so proud of every member of Marie Curie staff who provide person centred care with such dedication and compassion.
"They ensure that people living with a terminal illness receive high quality, end-of-life care across the North East by supporting and enabling them to be cared for at home surrounded by their loved ones.
"People who are supported by the Marie Curie Nursing Service are much more likely to die at home and have fewer hospital visits in their last year of life.
"We believe everyone has the right to a good end-of-life, so I'm delighted that the CQC has recognised this by giving our service the Outstanding Award."
