| Annotation | In 1995, the NCPC in collaboration with the Department of Health (DH) developed a minimum data set (MDS) for palliative care. This bulletin updates the review work undertaken so far, which has lead to a revision of the questionnaires used to produce the MDS (which can be found on the NCOC website). The bulletin includes the findings from the 2007-8 National Data Collection and gives comparisons with previous years. The 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 (78% overall response rate). A fuller report is available from the NCPC, and available for subscribers to download in the Online Library (at www.ncpc.org.uk). (RH). |
