Motion Text

That this House recognises the desperate need for palliative care provision in the Jarrow constituency after the sudden closure of St Clare's Hospice in 2019 after 30 years of service; believes there is a need to maintain, improve and fully fund all health services across South Tyneside; notes that St Clare's has been incredibly important to Jarrow and South Tyneside constituents even when faced with high demand; and calls for replacement palliative care provision within the Jarrow constituency.
