Dr Al Pinkerton

Liberal Democrat — Surrey Heath

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 January 2025

Debate

Hospice and Palliative Care

Contribution

Will the hon. Gentleman join me in paying tribute to the Phyllis Tuckwell hospice, which does great work in his constituency and mine? I have been speaking to the hospice over the last few days, and it requires £25,000 a day to maintain its services. The hospice has told me that it desperately needs multi-year funding settlements to offer a guarantee of future financial security, as well as a clearly articulated workforce plan to ensure continuity of high-quality staff.
