Laura KuenssbergHOST
Now, Newscasters will know she's a familiar face and familiar voice in your lug holes in terms of having big government jobs, but she is now in charge of the Department of Health, which of course is responsible for health in England.
Laura KuenssbergHOST
And there were, you know, so many issues that you could raise with her this morning, but a letter that was put together by 16 different health groups, including Age UK, Marie Curie, the Royal College of Nurses, made its merry way to my sticky paws over the weekend, where they were demanding that the Health Secretary put what's known as corridor care at the top of her list.
Laura KuenssbergHOST
Now, corridor care has come to mean the situation where people end up getting treated in corridors, in waiting rooms, in the back of ambulances because-
Adam FlemingHOST
Sitting on a chair for 15 hours
Hope PriceGUEST
So they're grateful for a nurse coming in to do times with them in the daytime or a night duty so that the family can get a proper sleep and manage well in the day.
Hope PriceGUEST
So I was a Marie Curie nurse for 35 years and now I do the same kind of nursing locally and it's a great blessing.
Lynn DaviesCORRESPONDENT
You have spent a considerable amount of time studying angels.
Lynn DaviesCORRESPONDENT
What spoke to your interest in that subject?
Paul LewisHOST
Now, listening to all that is Sarah Middlemiss.
Paul LewisHOST
She's from the hospice and end-of-life charity Marie Curie.
Paul LewisHOST
Sarah Middlemiss, were, were you shocked at the way Capita treated Judith at such a time?
Sarah MiddlemissGUEST
Yeah, Judith's experience is very difficult to hear, and I'm, I'm really glad that Moneybox have helped to get a, a more positive outcome, um, from Capita in her individual case.
Sarah MiddlemissGUEST
Yeah, um, and unfortunately, uh, it's really widespread sort of across multiple sectors.
Sarah MiddlemissGUEST
So, um, financial, uh, companies, but also energy companies, um, telecoms companies, a whole range of things.
Sarah MiddlemissGUEST
Um, and ultimately at Marie Curie, we really wanna see minimum standard introduced for companies, um, th- which will mean that bereaved people can expect a compassionate and consistent service wherever they are in the UK.
Sarah MiddlemissGUEST
Um, but companies don't have to wait for regulation, um, and there are really easy practical improvements that they can make right now, um, which is why Marie Curie are running our Make Sa- Sadmin Simple campaign, um, calling on companies to act.
Johnny PatersonHOST
And finally, a host of household names have called on the prime minister to fix palliative care funding.
Johnny PatersonHOST
Sir Michael Palin and Alison Steadman were among those speaking out, and they paid tribute to the work of cancer charity Marie Curie in caring for their loved ones in their final days.
Johnny PatersonHOST
Sir Michael Palin recalled how his wife was given the chance to have a calm and dignified end to her life through hospice care.
Johnny PatersonHOST
Everyone should have access to the care they need and deserve, while Marie Curie ambassador, Alison Steadman, called for everyone to be given access to the sort of high-quality end-of-life care her mum received.
Johnny PatersonHOST
The charity's chief executive pointed to gaping holes in end-of-life care in the UK and urged the governments of all four nations to take heed and take action.

Greg Miller-BurnsNARRATOR
A motley collection.
Greg Miller-BurnsNARRATOR
One message told me that the local Marie Curie hospice was closed to new admissions and the community palliative care nurses were struggling to cope.
Greg Miller-BurnsNARRATOR
They asked that I avoid referring all but the most complex cases their way and handle the rest on my own.
Greg Miller-BurnsNARRATOR
If any dying patients were in crisis, they would need to be admitted through A&E.
Joss CameronGUEST
I'd go and get that checked.
Joss CameronGUEST
Anyway, six weeks later, the lady was in Marie Curie and she was dying of cancer.
Joss CameronGUEST
She just had missed it.
Joss CameronGUEST
Yeah, and everyone...
David JohnsonHOST
Yes.
Jason GillardGUEST
So I got a place on Marie Curie, and I managed to rope in my brother-in-law and my nephew.
Jason GillardGUEST
Uh, so I'm hard in training, uh, which is good because I've dropped down a bit of weight and got back in the old PTI head.
David JohnsonHOST
Wh- where do you get time to do that as well as everything else you do?
Catherine PriestleyGUEST
And there is evidence in actual fact that when people have had palliative and supportive care alongside, this was done with lung pa- uh, lung cancer patients, that they actually live that bit longer as well, and live well and live longer as well.
Catherine PriestleyGUEST
So they, whilst I'm not an expert in that and we've got great charities like Marie Curie who've got a helpline, loads of resources on there, um, then their input can be invaluable and not least because of those side effects that we're talking about, the symptoms, but also just the other support for families, for children All sort benefits-
LauraHOST
Mm-hmm
Catherine PriestleyGUEST
... finances, all sorts of things palliative and supportive care teams can offer.
Keri JonesHOST
And Marcus Tetmar from the group Jamarka is hoping you'll help him raise two and a half thousand pounds for a charity that supported his family through a particularly difficult time.
Keri JonesHOST
Marcus is running the marathon in memory of his dad for Marie Curie.
Keri JonesHOST
They provide free care for people with terminal illnesses, helping them remain comfortable in their own homes or in hospices while supporting their families.
Marcus TetmerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
My dad got ill with mesothelioma and, and Marie Curie were around to s-- provide palliative care and come to the house and l-look after him in his final days and also give us, as a family, support.
Marcus TetmerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So they do incredible work.
Marcus TetmerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I think they're amazing.
Marcus TetmerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'd done Stirrer.
Marcus TetmerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Obviously missed the London ballot.
James WhiteHOST
For me, my why was I had a, uh, a charity that I wanted to raise some money for who were amazing for me and my family when my mum was passing away.
James WhiteHOST
And I knew the pain that those people were going through, and I wanted to raise some money to support those people, and I wanted something that was difficult and challenging enough that would make other people say, "Yeah, I'm gonna put some money into that." And I'm pleased, as I stand here today, I think we've raised nearly 5,900 pounds for, for, for Marie Curie, the charity.
James WhiteHOST
And so I look at it and go, as a result of that, there's probably some two or three families are gonna have a nurse overnight to help them in their hour of need as my family did.
James WhiteHOST
So that was my why.
