A novelty is that the recommendation can be done by family physicians. Also palliative care services were introduced in the package. Annexes 24, 25, 26 and 27 specify the who may receive this care and what are the conditions in which this type of care is given. Although, this is a new possibility for delivering palliative care, the number of institution which apply for this possibility, is limited.
