To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether NHS England’s national hospice funding framework will require integrated care boards to enter into multi-year contracts with hospices; and whether contracts will reflect the full cost of delivering commissioned clinical services, including staffing, medicines, estates, digital systems and regulatory compliance.
