Zoe’s Place and funding for children’s hospices

That this House notes its deep concern at the announcement that children’s hospice Zoe’s Place in Liverpool is at risk of imminent closure; applauds the phenomenal response to this shocking news in the city and thanks the huge charitable drive to raise £5 million by 9 November to save Zoe’s Place; notes its alarm that children’s hospices across the country are facing huge funding challenges; therefore calls on the Government to urgently put funding into children’s hospices, allowing Zoe’s Place and children’s hospices across the country to continue to care for seriously ill children and their families into the future; specifically calls on the Government to maintain and increase the £25 million Children’s Hospice Grant into the future and return it to being a centrally-distributed funding stream; and more broadly calls on the Government to review the funding of children’s hospices to ensure all seriously ill children and their families receive high quality care when and where they need it.
