HC Deb 10 December 1985 vol 88 c601W
39. Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will increase the resources available to hospices for the terminally ill.

Mr. Hayhoe

Most hospices are run by voluntary groups and it is for individual health authorities to consider what financial support is appropriate for each hospice. I am encouraging health authorities to collaborate with the voluntary sector in the planning and provision of all services for the dying.
