Children's Hospices

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the oral answer of 14 June 2005, Official Report, column 146, on children's hospices, on what date she plans to publish guidance informing primary care trusts of their responsibilities with regard to children's hospices and children's palliative care.
Answer

This autumn, we will publish a good practice guide on the effective commissioning of palliative care services for children and young people that will promote choice. The guide is for primary care trusts and their commissioning partners. We will follow up publication with a series of events to bring trusts and their local authority and hospice partners together.
