| Annotation | As we seek to improve local end of life care services and to ensure that everyone can access the best quality care, it is important that we look at a range of data sources to examine patterns, experiences and outcomes in end of life care across different services and localities. This report presents data (mainly as bar charts) drawn from the Marie Curie End of Life Care Atlas (see: http://www.mariecurie.org.uk/en-GB/Commissioners-a... a tool that has been designed to help commissioners, health and social care providers, policy makers and the public across the UK to identify gaps in end of life care in their areas. It draws attention to data from reports and studies examining different aspects of end of life care, in particular the variations in experiences, in spending on end of life care, in recognising palliative care and end of life care needs, and in hospital use prior to death.
