It said it had been given notice by the NHS Dorset ICB that its service contract, which sees its medical staff support people at home, would not be renewed.Karen Burfitt, a director at Marie Curie South West, said the charity was "saddened" by the news.

She said end-of-life care at home was "urgently needed" to reduce pressure on the NHS and save people from "avoidable and traumatic emergency admissions"."We are concerned that decommissioning our specialist service in favour of increased use of personal care agencies will compromise quality of care," she added.The charity said NHS Dorset ICB had suggested it join the Dorset Provider Framework, but doing so "wasn't feasible" for the organisation.

It said that framework "was designed for agencies that provide personal care to a broad range of people, which differs from the specialist end of life care we provide".In a statement, Dorset ICB said: "All of our current providers were given the opportunity to join that framework, but some did not determine this was the right business decision for them.

"As such the current contract arrangement for care with Marie Curie will not be renewed from April 2025."

It added it had "no concerns regarding capacity or capability of providers [on the Dorset Provider Framework] to provide the care required"."It's the decontamination room. If people have been covered in chemicals or fallen into a river, they come in here to be hosed down. Us too," says the paramedic.

It's the only room available. This is the room where we're told: "It's a stroke."But that shocking diagnosis doesn't mean he gets a bed. Instead, it's back to the ambulance to wait to be called for a brain scan.

Another hour ticks by. The blood pressure monitor flashes red."This isn't what I joined the service to do," another paramedic tells me.
