Government announces funding boost for Hospices

Hospices in England are to receive £100m of government funding over two years to improve end-of-life care, Health Secretary Wes Streeting has announced. Another £26m is going to hospices for children and young people.

Rachel Black, our CEO, said:

“We welcome the announcement today that the government will be investing £100 million into Hospices over the next 2 years. Everyone deserves to have access to the compassionate care that hospices provide, and we hope that this funding will ensure that the best care is available to all. Hospices provide such a vital service to people with life-limiting illness, supporting people to ensure they have a good quality of life, right up until the end of life. We look forward to seeing the details of the funding award in the coming weeks.”
