Description

The percentage of last 6 months of life spent at home or in a community setting.

Includes all ages, sex, SIMD quintile and urban rural classification. Deaths resulting from external causes are excluded.

End of life care (palliative care) is an important, integral aspect of the health care provided to those living with and dying from any advanced or progressive and life-threatening condition. It is now possible to predict the progress of many of these conditions, enabling a planned approach to end of life care in ways which reflect, as far as possible, the needs and wishes of patients, carers and their families.

More information is available at Public Health Scotland.
