Care Quality Commission, 2017
This report presents the findings from CQC’s initial programme of comprehensive inspections of hospice services.
Hospice care across England has the highest percentage of health and social care services that are rated outstanding (25%), and a further 70% are rated good. However, there is more to be done to make sure that everyone can access high-quality end of life care, as it was noted services to some groups was variable and that the needs of these people were not always considered and understood.
