\nThis report <\/a>presents findings from CQC’s hospice inspection programme and finds that\u00a0hospice care across England has the highest percentage of health and social care services that are rated outstanding (25 per cent), and a further 70 per cent are rated good. The inspections found that\u00a0hospice leaders and frontline staff displayed a strong commitment to providing truly person-centred, compassionate care and support to people using their services, and their loved ones.<\/p>\n
