Proceeding contribution from Lynda Waltho (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 November 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Children’s Hospices.

Children’s Hospices

Does my hon. Friend acknowledge that there is an additional problem for hospices that cover a larger area? Acorns children’s hospice covers the west midlands, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire, so it has the tremendous problem of negotiating with 33 separate PCTs. I appreciate the problem my hon. Friend has raised, but in fact it can be even larger.
