Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Caroline Dinenage and James Frith

Tuesday 23rd October 2018 Commons Chamber

[James Frith (Bury North) (Lab)]

Last month, the Mayor of Greater Manchester adopted the five recommendations of my report, “Living Well and Dying Well”, which seeks to include hospice care provision more formally in our NHS and social care planning. Will the Minister meet me and representatives of our hospices to see how we might best make use of these brilliant community health assets?

[Caroline Dinenage]

Yes, I am happy to meet the hon. Gentleman to discuss the matter. Hospices provide an incredible level of care right across the UK, and we cannot do enough to support them.
