<p>NHS England has developed an all-age palliative and end of life care dashboard,
which brings together all relevant local data in one place in an easily accessible
format. The dashboard is accessible to integrated care boards (ICBs) and their commissioners
and helps them understand the palliative and end of life care needs of their local
population, including children and young people. This supports commissioners in their
statutory duty for palliative and end of life care, enabling ICBs to put plans in
place to address and track the improvement of health inequalities, and ensure that
funding is distributed fairly based on prevalence.</p><p>Funding has been confirmed
to ensure continued maintenance of the dashboard for 2024/25, with discussions ongoing
regarding further development and use. There is, however, existing publicly available
data, such as the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities ‘Fingertips’ data
on palliative and end of life care.</p>
