Health service use in the last two years of life

Health service use in the last two years of life
The Strategy Unit October 2020

• A series of reports that describe the health services that patients use in the last 2 years of their lives. Reports are available for the Midlands region as a whole and for each of the 11 Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STP) or Integrated Care Systems in the region.
• The reports contain important insights into
• the services that patients use,
• how the patterns of service use change as patients approach death,
• differences in experience by ethnicity, deprivation and cause of death
• the costs of hospital treatment at the end of life and how this varies by STP
• levels of non-beneficial treatments
• the additional hospital capacity that may be required to accommodate the projected increase in deaths over the next decade
