Justin Tomlinson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Justin Tomlinson on 2016-10-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of levels of hospice care provision across the UK.

David Mowat

Levels of National Health Service funded hospice care provision are determined locally by clinical commissioning groups and they are responsible for ensuring that the services they commission meet the needs of their local population. Commissioners should identify any gaps in local provision and put in place service development plans to address this identified need.
