Supporting dying people.
A descriptive interview survey was carried out to identify and assess the needs of dying people and their families and to see how far those needs were met by services available in the district. The main carers were interviewed six months after the death, and the majority said they were satisfied with care offered. However, a detailed analysis of comments made in response to the open-ended questions that were asked sheds light on the difficulties faced by many people in gaining access to services.
