In July 2008 the Department of Health published the End of life care strategy - promoting high quality care for all adults at the end of life. This report sets out progress over the first year.
In November 2008, DH launched a consultation on end of life care. The consultation closed in February 2009. This is a response to the consultation
The strategy aims to provide adults approaching the end of life with more choice about where they would like to be cared for and die. It encompasses all adults with advanced, progressive illness and care given in all settings.
