Liberal Democrat — Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 November 2024

Debate

Income Tax (Charge)

Contribution

Palliative care charities are essential partners that deliver compassionate, dignified end-of-life care on behalf of, and much cheaper than, the NHS. Organisations that provide healthcare for the NHS should be treated like NHS bodies in these decisions. Increasing NI contributions for hospices but not the NHS places those providers in a critical financial position, and firmly indicates that the Government regard organisations such as Highland hospice as second-class.
