A census of seriously ill cancer patients at home and in hospital was undertaken in 1977 in Southampton Health District. One hundred and thirty-seven patients were identified in whom no further curative treatment was appropriate. Ninety-seven (71 per cent) were interviewed, 63 at home and 34 in hospital. Thirty-four per cent of patients reported moderate or severe pain in the 24 hours prior to interview. Similar proportions were found in the home and in hospital. Only 5 per cent were receiving oral diamorphine. Night nursing and home help services did not meet the needs of the patients.
1977年，在南安普敦健康区对在家中和医院的重症癌症患者进行了一次普查。共识别出137名患者，对他们已不再适合进行进一步的根治性治疗。对其中97名患者（占71%）进行了访谈，63名在家中访谈，34名在医院访谈。34%的患者报告在访谈前24小时内有中度或重度疼痛。在家中和医院发现了相似的比例。只有5%的患者正在接受口服二醋吗啡治疗。夜间护理和家庭帮助服务无法满足患者的需求。
