Abstract
Hospice-in-the-West is situated in Krugersdorp on the West Rand. There is no hospice dispensary and the patients must, of necessity, obtain their terminal care medications from the Yusuf Daddoo Provincial Hospital. The hospital has a policy protocol in place that must be followed by all patients attending the hospital in order for them to obtain their monthly supply of medications. This policy has been in place for the past eight years. An evaluation of the provincial hospital's policy protocol was undertaken in an attempt to identify areas for possible improvement.
