【 摘 要 】

This report was prepared for and in collaboration with the National Audit Office. The study objective was twofold: first, to provide an estimation of the current economic impact of caring for patients during their last year of life in England; and, second, to simulate the potential benefits of an expansion of those services by decreasing reliance on acute care during that time. The study is part of a broader Value for Money study that the UK NAO is undertaking into end of life care in England.
