HC Deb 15 October 1990 vol 177 cc649-51W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many hospices there are in each of the counties of England; and what is his policy regarding the expansion of hospice provision in England.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Information is not available in the form requested. The following table gives an analysis by health district. The Government value the contribution made by the hospice movement to improving services for people with a terminal illness and their families. We expect health authorities to take the lead in planning and co-ordinating such services, in consultation with hospices and other interested organisations.
