Keeping Care Alive: Hospices in Crisis? Tonight 8.30pm @ITV1 / @ITVX With @DanielHewittITV and @PaulBrandITV Hospices in Britain help hundreds of thousands of people through some of the hardest times, offering vital end-of-life care, respite for caregivers, and bereavement counselling. But with the cost of care soaring, the current funding model—where on average only about a third of support comes from the NHS and central government—has left many #hospices facing a financial crisis. Increasingly, they rely on donations from cake sales, fun runs, and the generosity of strangers to make up the shortfall, with some now facing the difficult prospect of cutting services or even closing their doors. ITV’s @DanielHewittITV asks what is key to preserving dignity in end-of-life care.
