The Government is committed to delivering the Challenge on Dementia 2020 to make England the world-leader in dementia care and support, research and awareness by 2020. The joint declaration on post-diagnostic dementia care and support is an unequivocal joint commitment between the Government, health, social care, and the third sector to improve care and support for people with dementia.<\/ins><\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

Local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are responsible for services and support for people with dementia. The Government and NHS England would expect CCGs to commission services that take into account relevant guidance, including National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines, and the Dementia Care Pathway, which sets out benchmarks to improve the delivery and quality of care and support.<\/ins><\/strong><\/p>

No specific assessment has been made of provision or patient population in Wirral or the north west. As with the vast majority of NHS services, the funding and commissioning of palliative and end of life care, is a local matter, over which individual National Health Service commissioners have responsibility. Local commissioners are best placed to understand the needs of local populations and commission services to meet those needs accordingly. The only exception to this are a small number specialist paediatric palliative care inpatient services, commissioned nationally by NHS England from ten centres <\/ins>eight centres<\/del> across England as part of its remit to deliver specialised services.<\/p>

<\/p>

Much of the routine palliative care patients receive will be provided either in outpatient or community settings, by nurses, community teams or general practitioners as part of general NHS services provision, rather than as an identified palliative care service. In such services, data are either not available or does not identify palliative treatment. In addition, social and voluntary sector organisations can provide additional support to patients at the end of life. Therefore, figures for the total cost of palliative care service for children nationally, or across local areas, is not available. Decisions regarding referral to local palliative care services will be made on the basis of clinical need.<\/p>


The following table shows information regarding funding provided via the Children\u2019s Hospice Grant to hospices in the North and in Wirral over the last eight years. Nationally, children\u2019s hospices are receiving £11 million in 2018/19 through the Children\u2019s Hospice Grant, which is awarded annually and administered by NHS England.<\/p>

- The children\u2019s hospice grant programme provides a general contribution to the operating costs for hospices. It does not pay for actual services for patients in specified areas. Therefore, it is not possible to reconcile the grant payment to actual activity delivered within any geographical area. Neither does the grant pay specifically for specialised or non-specialised services as it is a general contribution.<\/p>

- For this analysis for the grant figure for the North West includes Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria based hospices.<\/p>

- The Wirral figure is for a single hospice.<\/p>

- Local NHS commissioners also provide funding to children\u2019s hospices which is a mixture of grant funding and activity based payments. Due to the low value of this funding this is not routinely recorded and so is not readily available.<\/p>

- Local authorities also provide some funding to some hospices, but this information is not held by NHS England.<\/p>

No specific assessment has been made of provision or patient population in Wirral or the north west. As with the vast majority of NHS services, the funding and commissioning of palliative and end of life care, is a local matter, over which individual National Health Service commissioners have responsibility. Local commissioners are best placed to understand the needs of local populations and commission services to meet those needs accordingly. The only exception to this are a small number specialist paediatric palliative care inpatient services, commissioned nationally by NHS England from ten centres<\/ins> eight centres<\/del> across England as part of its remit to deliver specialised services.<\/p>

<\/p>

Much of the routine palliative care patients receive will be provided either in outpatient or community settings, by nurses, community teams or general practitioners as part of general NHS services provision, rather than as an identified palliative care service. In such services, data are either not available or does not identify palliative treatment. In addition, social and voluntary sector organisations can provide additional support to patients at the end of life. Therefore, figures for the total cost of palliative care service for children nationally, or across local areas, is not available. Decisions regarding referral to local palliative care services will be made on the basis of clinical need.<\/p>


The following table shows information regarding funding provided via the Children\u2019s Hospice Grant to hospices in the North and in Wirral over the last eight years. Nationally, children\u2019s hospices are receiving £11 million in 2018/19 through the Children\u2019s Hospice Grant, which is awarded annually and administered by NHS England.<\/p>

Spending decisions on social care, including annual increases, are a matter for local government which know their local areas best. Overall, the Government has given access to £9.4 billion additional funding for social care between 2017-18 and 2019-20. Funding allocations for local government beyond 2019-20 are subject to the Spending Review.<\/p>
