| Annotation | The Minimum Data Set (MDS) was developed in 1995 by the National Council for Hospice and Specialist Palliative Care Services (now the NCPC) in association with the Hospice Service at St Christopher's Hospice, London. The aim of the MDS is to provide good quality, comprehensive data about hospice and specialist palliative care services, in order to inform service management, development, commissioning and planning. This report provides a national overview of services in England, Northern Ireland and Wales; data on inpatients and outpatients, including their ethnicity as well as diagnoses; and data on day care, community services, hospital support, and bereavement support. The data are variously presented as tables or charts, accompanied by annotations. The findings are based on an overall response rate of 66% (328 services) to a questionnaire sent to all services providing palliative care in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. (RH). |
