Energy: Hospices

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have met with representatives of the UK hospice sector specifically to discuss the impact of increased energy prices on hospices.

Answer

Discussions have taken place with a number of charities and businesses regarding increased energy costs and the Government is fully aware of the impact this is having on the hospice sector.

This is why the Energy Bill Relief Scheme was introduced, shielding eligible non-domestic customers from soaring energy prices. Following an HMT-led review, the new Energy Bill Discount Scheme will run from April until March 2024, and continue to provide a discount to eligible non- domestic customers, including the hospice sector.
