Hospices: Children
(asked on 10th March 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he has made an assessment of the potential impact of removing the NHS England Children’s Hospice Grant on the delivery of services in those hospices.
This question was answered on 20th March 2023
No specific assessment has been made. NHS England determines the best use of its financial settlement to deliver services. Funding arrangements for children’s hospices beyond 2023/24 have not yet been agreed. Palliative and end of life care is commissioned locally by integrated care boards in response to the needs of their local population.
