“Hospitals are paid millions to hit targets for the number of patients who die on the Liverpool Care Pathway.  The incentives have been paid to hospitals that ensure a set percentage of patients who die on their wards have been put on the controversial regime.
In some cases, hospitals have been set targets that between a third and two thirds of all the deaths should be on the LCP, which critics say is a way of hastening the deaths of terminally ill patients.  At least £30million in extra money from taxpayers is estimated to have been handed to hospitals over the past three years to achieve these goals.”
