In their manifesto, Labour rightly made health and social care a priority, with a focus on reducing pressures in the NHS and on improving care in local neighbourhoods.
Hospices are ideally placed to help, and stand ready to do so, with the right support.

Every year, 57 million people around the world need palliative care. But only 14% of patients can access it. This exposes families to suffering, hardship and social isolation.
I commend #Uganda for taking action to increase access to oral liquid morphine free of charge.
