Between April and May 2015, Help the Hospices undertook a survey of member hospices to establish a picture of how NHS commissioning arrangements were impacting on hospice funding. The report identifies a number of concerns, including increasing complexity in the commissioning environment, ongoing uncertainty around the sustainability of statutory funding, and continuing funding cuts and frozen budgets. The report recommends a series of actions for government, NHS England, CCGs and local authorities.
