More than 55,000 people die in Scotland each year. Palliative care should be an integral part of the support available to everyone who needs it in the last months, days or hours of life. It also includes help to live with a life-limiting condition. This report is the first overview of the activity, costs and quality of specialist and general palliative care across Scotland. It includes the views of almost 1,000 bereaved families and friends.
