| Annotation | The national survey of bereaved people (VOICES, Views of Informal Carers - Evaluation of Services) collects information on bereaved peoples' views on the quality of care provided to a friend or relative in the last 3 months of life, for England. The survey has now been run for 4 years and was commissioned by the Department of Health in 2011 and 2012, and NHS England from 2013. VOICES data provides information to inform policy requirements, including the End of Life Care Strategy (published by the Department of Health, July 2008). This set out a commitment to promote high quality care for all adults at the end of life and stated that outcomes of end of life care would be monitored through surveys of bereaved relatives. It presents a range of information regarding a person's quality of care, the dignity and respect afforded, coordination of care, relief of pain and overall level of care in the last three months of life. Also considered are: support for relatives, friends and carers; decision-making; and preferences and choices at the end of life. Links are provided to the previous surveys. |
