§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many hospices there are in each of the counties of Wales; and what is his policy regarding the expansion of the hospice provision in Wales.
§ Mr. GristThere is one voluntary hospice in Wales providing in-patient care, in south Glamorgan. The provision of hospice facilities and other care for the terminally ill is a matter for the voluntary sector and health authorities but we are considering what assistance we can give to aid this work.
