Stewarts’ Post

One in five hospices are planning to reduce services due to financial constraints owing to: rising costs, reliance on voluntary income, and low government funding. At St Nic’s we’ve experienced a £80,000 funding cut, which has worsened an already difficult situation, demonstrating the difficult circumstances nationally. While these funding cuts might be viewed as a necessary short-term cost-saving measure, there are long-term consequences for our community. Every penny saved through funding cuts today could result in significantly higher costs in the future, both financially and in terms of patient wellbeing. When hospice services are underfunded, the burden shifts to hospitals and other healthcare providers, creating a more expensive and less efficient system overall. Cuts and unstable statutory funding threatens the quality of end-of-life care that so many depend on, and while there is at this moment no direct threat to our services we cannot let this continue.
