House of Commons Social Indicators paper
Every so often, House of Commons researchers produce a summary of social indicators for MPs to use, and this is published on the internet: http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/research/rp2008/rp08-037.pdf. Nothing about end of life care, but a range of interesting statistics, including community care provision and some comparisons with similar European countries, where UK health expenditure is not particularly strong, but a higher proportion of it is in the state sector than most other countries.
