Your headline in the June 22 issue stating ‘Palliative care now offered’ is misleading. Palliative care has always been available in Dartmouth through Dartmouth Medical Practice and Rowcroft Hospice.

The new Palliative Care and Cancer Liaison Service, recently launched by Dartmouth Caring, which the article is about, is an additional service that complements the care already provided.
