Palliative Care: Expenditure

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding was allocated to palliative care in (a) Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside, (c) the North East and (d) the UK in each year since 2010.

Answer

Data on the total funding allocated to hospice services in England is not routinely collected centrally, as the vast majority of funding decisions are a matter for local commissioners. Funding in the constituent countries of the United Kingdom is a matter for the devolved administration of those countries.
