Officials have been looking at the options for providing more funding to hospices and other end-of-life care through the NHS partly to offset the impact of the national insurance rise.

The sector overall estimates an additional shortfall of about 60 m.

Leadbeater said her proposal offers hope to those terminally ill people with a clear, informed and settled wish to have a better death’ Government says it is aware of the financial pressures facing the hospice sector and of the huge generosity of the British public.
