Sir Alan Campbell
The hon. Lady is right to raise not only the importance of hospices—we are grateful for the important work they do—but the challenges they face. The Government have provided support for hospices, but I accept that many still find it difficult. The answer in the longer term is to reform social care, and the Prime Minister is committed to doing that.
Phil Brickell (Bolton West) (Lab)
The Westhoughton Assist Service, based at the John Holt community centre in my constituency, provides vital support to vulnerable people, with food packages, clothing and referrals. As we approach the festive season, it is collecting toys for its Christmas appeal so that every child across Westhoughton can have a truly magical Christmas day. Will the Leader of the House join me in recognising the hard work of Lesley Monks and the whole team at Westhoughton Assist who provide invaluable support to families all year round?
