PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(22 April 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 13 April 2026 to Question 123423 on Hospices: Children, how much has NHS England advised integrated care boards to give to each children's hospice in 2026/27 from the £80 million of NHS funding allocated for children’s hospices over the next three years.

Asked by:
Alison Bennett (Liberal Democrat)

NHS England has informed all integrated care boards of their allocation for children and young people’s hospices for 2026/27, with a total allocation of approximately £27 million. The Department is not yet in a position to share those individual allocations publicly.

A similar value, adjusted for pay inflation, will be made available in each of the subsequent two years, 2027/28 and 2028/29. Communications regarding future allocations will be sent once the 2026/27 process is complete.
