NHS Crisis  withTerminally Ill Patients Official guidelines are causing a crisis in care of the terminally ill and growing anger among patients' families, medical experts say.

The advice allows food and fluids to be withdrawn from patients, who are then continuously sedated, if they are judged to be close to death.

In a letter to the Daily Telegraph the six doctors and campaigners criticise a "tick-box approach" to care.

The government says the guidance helps deliver high quality care for people.
