and is linked to other targets such as the
mental health length of stay, and our target
for people to have contact within seven days,
post discharge from an adult inpatient unit.
654 658 Service demand for specialist palliative care
continues to grow at a rate faster than our
population growth. This demand is forecast to
continue into future years, and we have
factored this in to our 2013/14 Annual Plan.
The largest single area for palliative care
support is Cancer which represents 78% of our
service.
