Verbatim
“We firmly believe that whatever decisions are made around assisted dying, there needs to be fair funding and equitable provision of palliative and end of life care across the UK so all those who need it can receive it.”
“We are delighted to have been selected by Cadent as their chosen charity partner for the next two years.”
“So whilst we remain grateful, we are also having to explain to our staff, patients and families that despite now having the ability to spend money on something like improving our car park or upgrading an IT system, we still can't afford to fund an additional nurse to help more patients.”
“Our Hospice Education practitioners worked closely with the Corner House to widen the team's knowledge and practices around end of life care, helping to improve their already good standards.”
