Children's Hospices

Question
If she will review the NHS funding arrangements that apply to children's hospices.

We have a clearly understood approach to funding for children's hospices. It is for local NHS commissioners to determine the need for hospice provision for children in their local areas and to fund services accordingly. We will publish best practice guidance in the area shortly.
