| Annotation | The Department of Health (DH) is consulting on markers of quality for end of life care. Among recommendations made by Age Concern England (ACE) and Help the Aged are that there should be quality markers that relate specifically to psychological, social spiritual and practical support; and that acute care and other settings should take into account the concepts of dignity and compassion at the end of life.
