CEO Rachael de Caux responds to the government's hospice funding announcement

"We welcome today’s announcement of £100m of government funding for hospices across England over the next two years. This commitment is a vital step towards easing the financial strain that hospices have been under for some time and ensuring that end-of-life care remains a priority within the healthcare system.

"We would like to thank Hospice UK for their tireless advocacy and support in securing this much-needed funding. We look forward to working through the details of what this announcement means for Thames Hospice, our community and the wider sector. We remain committed to ensuring these funds are used to deliver our essential services in the best possible environment."
