| Annotation | The National Council for Palliative Care (NCPC) and the Consortium of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Voluntary and Community Organisations set out to gauge experiences and current practices from both sides: LGBT people who have or will need to use palliative care services and services providing end of life care in the community. This document presents the findings of a short survey conducted in 2010 regarding what further work was needed. 739 responses were received, and the focus is on answers to the open-ended questions on matters such as treating people equally, and tackling homophobic or transphobic attitudes. The report concludes that end of life service providers need to do all they can to make their services truly open to all, and to promote themselves to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities in their local areas.
