An Edinburgh hospice is warning palliative and end-of-life care services are now at serious risk due to funding decisions made by the Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership.
The warning comes after a 3% inflationary uplift in funding was reversed – the hospice is calling for this decision to be upturned and for a committment to a national review of hospice funding.
The facility predicts an increase in the number of people in Scotland requiring palliative care in the next 15 years.
