Our Chief Executive Officer @jamescsanderson.bsky.social has responded to Andy Burnham’s speech on social care this morning.

The PM has said palliative care funding needs fixing. We agree! Our "ecosystem" model would reform palliative care meaning more people get the support they need. We're here to work with @andyburnham.bsky.social to deliver this but it needs to happen soon. Dying people don't have time to wait.

We have responded to the Public Accounts Committee report on the financial sustainability of adult hospices in England. The report examines the financial challenges in the sector and how government and NHS England need to respond. Read our quote from our Chief Executive, @jamescsanderson.bsky.social

We know that today might be especially hard if you are grieving - please know you are never alone💙 If you need extra support today, we have advice about coping with grief on Mother's Day on our website: sueryder.org/MothersDay

Lots of things can cause or worsen fatigue when you have a medical condition. Make sure you talk with your healthcare team to make sure you are getting the right support.. Read our advice at https://www.sueryder.org/end-of-life-care/living-with-a-terminal-illness/managing-fatigue/

The gap between what constitutes healthcare and social care has been rightly identified by Baroness Casey as a very real issue that causes unnecessary pain and suffering for a great many people with a terminal illness and their families.

Later today there's due to be a debate in Parliament on the future of palliative care, led by Rachael Maskell MP. We hope to see MPs discuss what must be addressed to improve care for people at the end of life - including tackling inequalities in access and delays in hospice care.

Today’s Spring Statement focused on the economy, with funding decisions due to be announced in the Autumn Budget. 1/2
