Big day for me today @MountbattenIW @MountbattenHamp Check out website mountbatten.org.uk for further info #wearenotafraid

So sad to hear that Dr Robert Twycross has died. Mentor, confidente and personal friend. A life truly well lived. Here in the crowd at our wedding in 2005 #wearenotafraid

@RoyLilley @ShaunLintern @wesstreeting 2. extra funding Also used the phrase ‘levelling down’ re future funding Shocking when we have known for 20 years number of people who need Specialist Palliative Care is growing! Prepare to see the hospice movement collapse if there is no intervention #wearenotafraid

@ShaunLintern @wesstreeting The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked the UK as the best place in the world to die, citing; integration of palliative care into the NHS, strong hospice movement, specialized staff, and community engagement. This predates Covid and one wonders if there’s been dramatic shift?

Health secretary @wesstreeting on assisted dying and crucially how that interacts with Britain's appalling palliative care service:

@RoyLilley @ShaunLintern @wesstreeting 1. Those responsible for both funding the NHS and distributing those funds need calling to account One commissioner told me that @MountbattenIW @MountbattenHamp must stop giving ‘gold standard’ care Numbers of people support grown by 250% with no (cont)

@RoyLilley @ShaunLintern @wesstreeting If you don’t now have access to @MountbattenIW @MountbattenHamp hospice care and I mean care by hospice staff at home/carehome, dying in the NHS has lost the momentum it had started to garner AND commissioners are now cutting NHS funding to hospices! It’s insane #wearenotafraid

Thanks to @BCM_LLP, Mountbatten cafe volunteer lead, John (right) will enjoy a meal cooked by #IsleofWight chef, Robert Thompson. He was the lucky volunteer to be kindly gifted a voucher by BCM's Thomas Dawson (left), who won it in a raffle. #Mountbatten #volunteers #iwnews

The death of the modern hospice movement. This is tragic! We need two things: 1. A one off payment from the government 2. A sustainable funding agreement from the NHS @MountbattenIW @MountbattenHamp #wewrenotafraid bbc.com/news/articles/…

mountbatten.org.uk/without-mountb… We cannot return to a world where the NHS ignored the dying and their families as once dead they could not come back and complain ICBs need to take responsibility to fund hospice care fairly and quickly #wearenotafraid #getyouracttogether

Mountbatten warns of possible service cuts over NHS funding gap mountbatten.org.uk/news/mountbatt… @MountbattenIW @MountbattenHamp Please help by writing to your MP or donating via our website It is the most critical of times and we risk those who need us being left alone #wearenotafraid

Hospices are running deficits, that means one thing – more cuts, or even closures. With hundreds of new MPs in place, we need every MP to hear about hospice care so they understand the scale of the issue and why it matters. You can help us reach them 👇 ow.ly/pgOx50SJZiQ

"The small and wildly variable state funding hospices receive has failed to keep pace with rising costs" - CEO Toby Porter. This comes as @StRichardsHosp faces a £1m deficit next year. UK hospices urgently require a sustainable funding solution. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

An incredible 6,000 of you have written to your MP to speak up for hospices as stagnant funding threatens their vital care. But we can’t stop now. We need every MP to hear about hospice care and why it matters. Please act now ⬇️ action.hospiceuk.org/write-your-mp-…

A national charity, which represents more than 200 hospices across the UK, said the sector’s finances are in their worst state for 20 years. 5 News' Chief Correspondent @tessa5news visited @St_Raphs in South London. @hospiceuk

It's heartbreaking to see @Hospiscare cut essential end-of-life services due to a £2.5m deficit amid rising costs and reduced donations. Hospices are facing the worst financial crisis in 20 years. Sustainable funding is needed now. itv.com/news/westcount…
