 AB    This paper will address the multiple issues which need to be considered
       and addressed when commissioning a new Hospice. It will take into
       account the important diverse issues such as: Gaining approval of
       admission criterias, which allows access to all members of society
       without prejudice to sex, age, religion, social, cultural, sexual choice
       and medical condition; Social and legislative issues in regard to
       H.I.V./AIDS and those groups who are most likely to be affected;
       Identification of staff attitudes and values in regards to H.I.V./AIDS;
       Assessment of staff knowledge base of H.I.V./AIDS; The admission of the
       first person living with AIDS and resultant emotional problems which
       arose. How these were addressed and overcome; Nursing of the varied
       accompanying infections which arise when someone is immuno suppressed
       and the fear of what if? These issues will be expanded upon and
       solutions and outcomes suggested.
