Abstract
In 1987 the Department of Health asked all UK District Health Authorities (DHAs) to review their provision for the terminally ill. This paper describes the deliberations of one district's Terminal Care Working Party culminating in the provision of a comprehensive National Health Service for the terminally ill. Especial emphasis is placed upon the factors in favour of siting these services on a district general hospital (DGH) site.
