In response to the recommendations of the independent Palliative Care Funding Review, we set up eight pilots to collect a range of data on palliative care and to test the review\u2019s recommendations. The pilot phase was completed in March this year.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England is in the process of analysing the data and designing a new palliative care currency framework. Decisions on how best to develop a fair and transparent funding system for palliative care will be based on this evidence.<\/p>

There are currently no plans to explore the feasibility of replicating the Liverpool STARS programme for people at the end of life elsewhere in England. This is a local initiative and it is for commissioners in other localities to determine how best to improve the provision of end of life care services in their areas, based on the needs of their populations.<\/p>

NHS England is responsible for improving end of life care services nationally and has established, and is supporting, palliative care networks across England. Through these networks and the work of NHS Improving Quality, NHS England is continuing to support improvements in palliative care services and sharing of good practice.

The Department and NHS England are taking steps to improve palliative care services, including the development of a per-patient funding model for palliative care services that aims to improve access to specialist palliative care.<\/p>

<\/p>

NHS England has established palliative care networks across England which are supporting improvements in palliative care services and sharing of good practice. NHS Improving Quality\u2019s (NHS IQ) Transforming End of Life Care (EoLC) in Acute Hospitals programme is also helping to drive improvements for people in hospitals, such as the wider implementation of electronic palliative care registers (EPaCCS). These can provide instant access to key information about EoLC patients to all health professionals with a need to see it. NHS IQ has set an ambition to achieve a 70% roll out of EPaCCs by 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

On 1 July 2014, we announced a review of choice in EoLC led by Claire Henry, Chief Executive of the National Council for Palliative Care. The Programme Board leading this work consists of representatives from charities, people with personal experience of EoLC (including carers), clinicians and policy makers. The review will undertake extensive public consultation to define what people want in EoLC services, and will provide advice to the Government on the policy initiatives required to enable people\u2019s preferences to be met. This advice will be provided by early next year.<\/p>

There are currently 2.9 full time equivalent staff in the Department working exclusively on policy areas in Domain 2 of the NHS Outcomes Framework, which includes end of life care.<\/p>

<\/p>

Since April 2013, NHS England has been responsible for delivering improvements in end of life care, with Public Health England responsible for providing information and data on this policy area.<\/p>

<\/p>

Forward planning for future end of life care needs is considered by all three organisations as part of their responsibility for policy development.<\/p>
