Chris Ruane – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chris Ruane on 2014-04-29.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the palliative care service ratings for England were in the most recent period for which information is available.

Norman Lamb

There is no national rating system for palliative care services in England. However, The National End of Life Care Intelligence network (NEoLCIN), part of Public Health England, works with partner organisations including NHS England to collect, analyse and present end of life care intelligence, drawing together data and information from a range of sources.

The NEoLCIN has published end of life care profiles at local authority and by clinical commissioning group level. These help commissioners and providers understand the end of life care needs of their populations. More information can be found at the following link:
