]]> Dying in Ireland an Assessment of the Quality of Care in the Last Week of Life]]> The audit reveals a picture where admissions to hospital
are typically unplanned and uncoordinated and where there is great variability in the
quality of care offered to patients with different conditions. At the same time, every
effort is made to allow patients die in a single room despite resource constraints, and
to facilitate relatives to be with the patient as much as possible right to the end.]]> Programme Management:
