Hospices

Question

What steps his Department is taking to support the hospice sector.

Answer

Hospices play a vital role in palliative care.


We have provided £125 million capital funding to the sector and are providing around £80 million revenue funding to children and young people’s hospices over three years. This Autumn we will publish a Modern Service Framework for Palliative Care and End-of-Life Care, providing the tools to improve access, quality and sustainability across the sector.
