Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2025

Debate

Hospice Funding

Contribution

My Lords, I pay tribute to Lady Randerson, who was a great supporter of hospice and palliative care services in Wales, as well as a dear friend. I declare that I am vice-president of Hospice UK and have been involved in setting up the palliative care commission, which will be chaired by Professor Sir Mike Richards and will start to take evidence this week. Can the Minister inform us of the department’s work to look at different funding formulae, such as the one we developed in Wales, which respects the individual autonomy of the voluntary sector while ensuring that some of the black holes of provision can be filled? Will the Government collaborate with the commission by providing as much evidence as possible so that Professor Sir Mike can come up with some really firm recommendations for the future?
