| Annotation | In 1995, the NCPC in collaboration with the Department of Health (DH) developed a minimum data set (MDS) for palliative care. A standard data collection questionnaire was developed and used in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. After twelve years of using this questionnaire, in 2005/06 NCPC commissioned the Marie Curie Palliative Care Institute Liverpool to review the minimum data set questionnaires, to examine whether current data items are still relevant and appropriate, and what new data should be collected. This bulletin updates the review work undertaken so far, which has lead to a revision of the questionnaires used to produce the MDS. The new updated MDS for 2008/9 are now available from the NCPC website and should be used from April 2008. This bulletin also includes the findings from the 2006-7 National Data Collection and gives comparison with previous years. These findings relate to data received from inpatient units, day care units, home care services, hospital support services, and out-patient services in response to a questionnaire (80% response rate).
