Website: Centre for Public Scrutiny (CfPS)
The Centre for Public Scrutiny has been created to help those who look at the effectiveness of public services. They are an independent not-for-profit company set up originally by the Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government, and incorporated as an independent organisation in 2003 by the Local Government Association, Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy and the Democratic Health Network of the Local Government Information Unit.
The review enabled the first large-scale consultation to be carried out with members of the general public in Norfolk County and Waveney on attitudes, expectations and experiences of death and dying. The report also examines the patient’s journey from the viewpoint of health care providers, social care workers, voluntary organisations and others involved in managing death and dying and palliative care services.
