A survey of all district health authorities in England was conducted in order

to describe current patterns of needs assessment and contract setting for palliative care services. Outcome measures included the completion of needs assessments in the past five years, the type of data used for needs assessment, and recommendations for service development. Copies of contracts for palliative care services were requested and analysed according to duration of contract, and audit requirements. A 74% response rate was achieved. Over half the health authorities had not carried out a needs assessment or service review

Key Words: health planning • health services • needs and demand • terminal care
