I have a question for contributors who have had experience of pastoral care on both sides of the Border. Have they found any difference in palliative care between the northern jurisdiction and this State? In general, have they seen differences in the level of palliative care? I come from Kerry, where palliative care is excellent in the hospital there. Have they found a discrepancy in the standard of palliative care or the options available, for example, the wraparound package of counselling and other types of supports?
