Abstract

As Alan Johnson, the secretary of state for health, notes in his foreword to the End of Life Care Strategy, more than 500,000 people die each year in England, of whom more than two thirds are over 75.

Surveys supporting the strategy indicate that most people would prefer to die at home (Higginson and Sen-Gupta 2000); however, only 18 per cent do so and older people are even less likely to die at home (Higginson et al 1999).
