A £6.4 million funding package to support hospices and provide palliative care across Wales has been announced by the Welsh Government today. The new funding for hospices and health boards in 2014-15 will ensure specialist consultant, nurse and other health support for palliative care is available across Wales.
The Welsh Government has today announced £6.4 million of funding to help support hospices and provide end-of-life care across the country.
Last year, the Welsh Government published its End of Life Care Plan, which aims to reduce inequalities in end-of-life care and maintain an individual's dignity in their last days of life.
£2.6 million of funding will be made available specifically for palliative care provided by voluntary-sector hospices and just over £3 millions will be allocated to health boards across Wales.
