Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps is she taking to improve the palliative care for terminally ill hospital patients that cannot be transferred to a hospice or into the care of end-of-life charities, and if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing fit-for-purpose mini hospices in NHS hospitals to aid the improvement of end-of-life palliative care services.

I refer the Hon Member to the answer provided on 20 July 2026 in response to Question 18732.
