The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to support hospices.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The hospice sector has been provided with the largest capital spend in a generation - £100 million.

We are also providing £26 million revenue funding to support children and young people’s hospices.

I recently visited Katharine House hospice in Stafford and heard from staff how important this record investment is.
