"Hospices are closing services, they're making redundancies and it's urgent that we see some financial support by the end of the year."
Our Head of Policy & Public Affairs, Katie Reade, responds to the Health Secretary @wesstreeting's comments yesterday on hospice funding.
As the new Parliament sits for the first time, hospices are under threat.
As costs surge and funding stagnates, the sector faces the worst financial crisis it's seen in 20 years.
It's critical that MPs know what needs to change.
