No, not from my understanding and limited experience of sitting on the EoL strategy group locally. It is more about ensuring everyone can, if they wish, be involved in their treatment and care at all stages of their lives including when their life is coming to its end, and have the opportunity to say what they want to happen (and can change it at any time) eg. Living wills, staying at home, no life-prolonging procedures if appropriate and so on.
It is intended to help not distress and entirely optional for the person and the family to contribute.
