CHILDREN'S HOSPICE FUNDING (No. 2)

Early day motion 2277, tabled 5 June 2006 by Bob Spink (Conservative). Signed by 65 members.

That this House warmly congratulates the Government on providing £27 million additional funding to replace the New Opportunity Fund money over the next three years thereby helping to avoid a short-term funding crisis for children's hospices; and calls on the Government to ensure that primary care trusts do not cut their funding as a result and that the Department of Health holds detailed discussions with the Association of Children's Hospices to establish a viable and fair long-term funding scheme for children's hospices.
