Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to publish the contribution made by each integrated care board to (1) hospices, and (2) other end of life services, for the 2023/24 financial year; and what proportion of the total funding raised by hospices each such contribution represents.
NHS England is responsible for determining allocations of individual resources to integrated care boards (ICBs), which are responsible for commissioning palliative and end of life care in response to the needs of their local population.
NHS England has no plans to publish the contribution made by each ICB to hospices or other end of life services, nor the proportion of total funding raised by hospices each contribution represents. ICB annual reports and accounts are published by each individual ICB and are available to the public via their websites.
