Hospices are to benefit from up to £60 million of funding to help improve the quality of care for people nearing the end of their lives.
Hospices will be able to apply for funding for projects that deliver improvements which ‘directly benefit patients, have a tangible impact on the physical environment and provide value for money’.
Care Services Minister, Paul Burstow, said: “We are making this investment because we want hospices to be able to provide dignified, compassionate, high quality care and support to people and their families at what is a difficult time in their lives.”
