AnnotationThis report sets out standards for the care of the dying and their carers in a wide range of situations and settings. The standards' basic objectives are to ensure that dying patients are well cared for, and as comfortable as possible. This entails organising and delivering services to free patients from physical and psychological stress, and to give them the maximum amount of choice regarding their care.
