Some hospices in the West are warning they will have to reduce their services, if the government-agreed funding they receive from the NHS does not increase.
Hospices have differing funding arrangements, but many receive around a third of their money from the NHS and the rest through donations.
Jessie May Hospice in Bristol, which provides palliative care for children at home, told the BBC its costs had risen 17% in 2025, with donations and statutory funding failing to match this.
