This increase is in addition to the Children’s Hospice Grant.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is currently establishing financial reporting systems to monitor the baseline investment of CCGs in children’s palliative and end of life care services. This will enable match funding payments to be made to CCGs where the investments are increased above the investment baseline in the previous year.</p><p> </p><p>We would expect hospices to be significant beneficiaries of the additional funding NHS England has committed to over the next five years. In many areas, children’s hospices are the main providers of children’s palliative and end of life care services. However, this new investment may also provide for: community services; short break (respite) services; and out of hours support for children with palliative care needs, which we know is hugely valued by children and their families and carers.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 02/04/2019 16:13:37 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
