Make sustainable hospice funding a national priority.
Holly Child — Sevenoaks
“My lovely dad died in February of an aggressive, progressive cancer. He spent the last weeks of his life in hospital as we were unable to secure him a hospice bed… I believe dad would have been more comfortable in a hospice, where they’re expert at pain management.”
Karen Cooper — Poole
“I have stage 4 cancer… Basically I only have months left to live… Eventually I will need major pain relief and pretty constant monitoring so a hospice will be greatly beneficial to me. Please keep all hospices open at full capacity.”
Anna Ferrie — London
“Our local community palliative care hospice had recently closed all its beds and he died in a busy impersonal hospital ward without appropriate end of life care… I was fortunate that 20 years ago my father… had his last days in a lovely hospice… I weep at the difference now.”
