| Annotation | This document is published with the implementation of health and social care reforms in April 2013 and how they are made to work for the benefit of people approaching the end of life and the people caring for them. It asks why each of the ten questions is important, what else to ask, and suggests further information sources. Local provision on end of life care is considered with questions about: where people are dying and where they are being cared for before they die; the quality of care received; the systems that identify people approaching the end of life and how plans about care can be coordinated; services "at any time of day and night" to enable people to be cared for in the place they want to be; support for carers, including into bereavement; services that are genuinely available and accessible to all; training in end of life care for staff; end of life care as a priority, including leadership and accountability; raising public awareness about death, dying and bereavement; and involving local people and those with personal experience in shaping and evaluating services.
