The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with his Northern Irish counterpart on funding for hospices.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Healthcare, including hospice care, in Northern Ireland is devolved, and therefore a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive, although we are always happy to learn from the experiences of devolved governments.
