Popis:	Historically, end-of-life care in the United Kingdom (UK) has focused on people who are dying from cancer, partly driven by government funding for palliative care being specifically earmarked for cancer patients. However, as only 25% of people who are dying have cancer (The National Council for Palliative Care [NCPC], 2008), this means that palliative care is not always being accessed by non-cancer patients.
