“It keeps me awake at night.”

That’s what Rachel McMillan, Chief Executive of Moya Cole Hospice said about the hospice funding crisis on BBC Breakfast this morning.

This comes as our data reveals that 380 beds are out of use in English hospices, as a result of insufficient funding.

Thank you to Christopher Hinchliff MP for raising the issue of hospice funding in today’s PMQs.

His spotlight on the critical financial situation Garden House Hospice Care is facing is hugely appreciated.

Hospices are making cuts and urgent support is needed now.

Today Hospice UK CEO, Toby Porter, gave evidence to the House of Lords inquiry on assisted dying today.

In his evidence, Toby highlighted the significant financial pressures still facing the hospice sector, which continue to limit patient access to vital care and support.

As the Health Minister says, charitable giving will always matter for hospices, but they need reliable government funding to plan care.

1 in 5 ended last year over £1m in deficit and 2 in 5 are planning cuts this year.

Time is running out and hospices need fair funding now.

We’re in Parliament today calling for fair funding for hospices.

Hospice staff make 1.4m home visits each year, helping people live well at home.

Hospices could ease NHS pressure and bring more care closer to home, but without fair funding, many hospices are fighting just to keep their doors open.

Hospices are on the brink. Surging costs have led to many services being cut back – just as demand is rising, fast, because of our ageing population.

The situation is not sustainable – and time is running out.

Hospices are on the brink.

We urgently need a long-term, sustainable funding solution so hospices can continue providing vital, specialist end-of-life care for everyone who needs it.
