Hospices across the UK have been provided with inputs of £100 million in order to enhance provision for adult and children’s hospices. A further £6.25 million will also maintain the Children’s Hospice Grant in 2025/26. This funding will assist in improving the care and support provided to families and patients in these crucial services.
Positive Impact on Care
Mat Cottle-Shaw, The Chief Executive Officer of Rotherham Hospice, said he was delighted with the funding.
He stated, “It has been a pleasant progress towards the provision of adequate and sensitive healthcare service delivery to our communities. At Rotherham Hospice, I realize how these funds will benefit not only the looks and functionality of our space but also the patients we serve.
Together, we are making a world in which everyone can fulfil the wishes of his life with dignity and support.
Gratitude for Supporters
All hospices, including Rotherham Hospice, cannot overstate the appreciation they have been receiving. Hospice UK and all the other parties supporting this cause, including the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, The Rt. Hon.
Wes Streeting, MP, has been key to making this funding a reality. It also reasserts a long-standing dedication to enhancing hospice services to help more patients and families receive proper end-of-life care.
This funding is a little towards a positive change in the fight for a better future for patients seeking hospice care in the UK.
