    In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care. Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

    300 hospice beds in England are closed due to critical funding and staffing pressures - 14% of total capacity. That’s 110,000 days and nights of care lost for those who need it. We’re calling on the government to act now.

    "Hospices will run out of this within days. They’re already having to ration supplies, which means we’re putting our staff at risk, and it also means we’re putting people in the community at risk." Our CEO @TraceyBleakley highlights the problem for hospices in accessing #PPE

    EXCLUSIVE: Hospices will run out of PPE “within days” as they‘re denied access to govt supplies. Unlike hospitals and care homes, they are not included in NHS supply chains and many can’t afford to buy their own as prices of PPE sky rocket. The full story: itv.com/news/2020-04-2…
