When a hospice like St Giles Hospice cuts services, patients are forced back into NHS care, adding pressure to hospitals and GPs. They’re not alone: more and more hospices are now making these tough decisions. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Around 40 staff at St Giles Hospice are sadly at risk of redundancy due to rising costs and inadequate government funding. This really can’t go on. Our Chief Executive Toby Porter speaks about why the government must announce measures to support hospices in financial crisis.
Today, St Giles Hospice has sadly announced the reduction in their services. The reason is simple: government funding for hospices is not fit for purpose. We urgently need the government to take action.
