Hospices receive multi-million pound boost to improve facilities
The government has confirmed the release of 拢25 million for upgrades and refurbishments today for hospices across England.
- An additional 拢75 million will be available from April as part of the largest investment in hospices in a generation
- The funding will modernise facilities, improve IT systems and ensure patients receive the highest quality care
Families across England will start to see improved end-of-life care as the government brings in major upgrades to hospice services nationwide.聽
New investments in hospices will make sure people receive compassionate care in comfortable, dignified surroundings during their most vulnerable moments by:
- creating outdoor gardens where memories can be shared
- upgrading patient rooms, so they feel more like home
Every change is focused on supporting families when they need it most.
The improvements will help ensure that, during life바카라 사이트檚 most challenging moments, patients and their loved ones receive the highest-quality care in the most appropriate and comfortable settings.
Hospices will begin receiving 拢25 million for facility upgrades and refurbishments from today as part of the biggest investment into hospices in a generation.
The cash will be distributed immediately for the 2024 to 2025 financial year, with a further 拢75 million to follow from April. More than 170 hospices across the country will receive funding, including those run by Marie Curie and Sue Ryder, as well as independent hospices like Zoe바카라 사이트檚 Place in Liverpool.聽
This cash forms a key part of the government바카라 사이트檚 Plan for Change, improving care in the community where people need it most.
Minister for Care, Stephen Kinnock said: 聽
This is the largest investment in a generation to help transform hospice facilities across England. From upgrading patient rooms to improving gardens and outdoor spaces, this funding will make a real difference to people at the end of their lives.聽
Hospices provide invaluable care and support when people need it most and this funding boost will ensure they are able to continue delivering exceptional care in better, modernised facilities.
The immediate cash injection, allocated through Hospice UK from the Department of Health and Social Care, will enable hospices to:
- purchase essential new medical equipment
- undertake building refurbishments
- improve technology
- upgrade facilities for patients and families
- implement energy-efficiency measures
The larger 拢75 million investment will support more substantial capital projects, including major building works and facility modernisation, throughout the next financial year.바카라 사이트�
Toby Porter, CEO of Hospice UK, said:
The announcement before Christmas of 拢100 million of additional funding for hospices in England was a significant boost, and today바카라 사이트檚 news of the allocation of the first 拢25 million of this funding will be a huge relief for our members.
Several years of rapidly rising costs have curtailed the extent to which hospices have been able to invest聽in their infrastructure for the longer term. This additional support will enable them to do so - and relieve the immediate pressures on hospice finances.
The hospice sector is ready to support the government바카라 사이트檚 ambition to shift more care into the community. This couldn바카라 사이트檛 be more important for people approaching the end of life, when it바카라 사이트檚 vital to have the right care, in the right place.
The greater stability provided by the government바카라 사이트檚 funding injection this year and next gives us a golden opportunity to now reform the palliative and end of life care system, so it바카라 사이트檚 fit for the future.
Nick Carroll, Chief Executive of children바카라 사이트檚 palliative care charity Together for Short Lives, said:
We바카라 사이트檙e really pleased that the Department of Health and Social Care has moved quickly to finalise the details of this much-needed funding and ensure it is ready for distribution.聽
We know that children바카라 사이트檚 hospices across England face an increasingly challenging funding landscape, with costs continuing to rise significantly. This investment will help children바카라 사이트檚 hospices continue to deliver essential care for seriously ill children and their families across England.
A key focus of the investment will be digital transformation, enabling hospices to modernise their IT systems and improve data sharing between healthcare providers. The funding will also support the development of outreach services, allowing hospices to extend their care beyond their physical buildings. This includes investing in mobile equipment and technology that will help support people who wish to receive end-of-life care in their own homes.바카라 사이트�
Creating more welcoming spaces for families is another priority, with funding allocated for the renovation of family rooms and outdoor areas. These improvements will provide peaceful, comfortable spaces where families can spend precious time with their loved ones during difficult periods.바카라 사이트�
The funding forms part of the government바카라 사이트檚 commitment to improving end-of-life care services across England, so hospices can continue providing exceptional care in the best possible environments.바카라 사이트�
It also supports the government바카라 사이트檚 ambitions in the 10 Year Health Plan to shift healthcare out of hospitals into the community and from analogue to digital, to ensure patients and their families receive personalised care in the most appropriate setting.聽聽
