This Government recognise the range of cost pressures that the hospice sector has been facing over a number of years, so today I am delighted to announce the biggest investment in hospices and end-of-life care in a generation. We are supporting the hospice sector with a £100 million boost for adult and children’s hospices, to ensure that those hospices have the best physical environment for care, and with £26 million in revenue to support children and young people’s hospices. The funding will support hospices and deliver much-needed funding for improvements, including refurbishment, overhaul of IT systems, and improved security for patients and visitors. It will help hospices this year and next year in providing the best end-of-life care for patients and their families in a supportive and dignified physical environment.
