Over 1000 people in Lanarkshire lived the last year of their lives in poverty, a new study has revealed.
Figures from end of life charity Marie Curie show that one in four people of working age, and one in eight pensioners experience poverty at the end of their lives in Scotland.
The charity conducted the research ahead of their 'Dying in Poverty' campaign which calls on the UK and Scottish governments to take urgent action to support terminally ill people and their families.
