NCPC survey to monitor the implementation of the End of Life Care Strategy

As part of our work to monitor the implementation of the End of Life Care Strategy in England, NCPC undertook a survey of SHAs, PCTs and palliative and end of life care providers. The survey explored the funding of services in light of the End of Life Care Strategy and the use of quality markers for end of life care.

We found that 35% of the Primary Care Trusts who responded to the survey were unable to identify how much they have spent on end of life care in the current year (2009/10).

The results of the survey were published on 10 March 2010 in NCPC’s new briefing Following the Money, which subscribers can download for free in the library section. You can read the press release here.

2006/07 Survey

The National Council for Palliative Care (NCPC) was invited by the National Partnership Group for Palliative Care (NPG) to build a picture of pressures on funding specialist palliative care services for the year 2006/07.
