Removing them from having to pay national insurance would do a world a good and wouldn’t cost us much compared to the good their work does.
The financial figures here are, in the grand scheme, very small. Individual hospices with deficits of less than 1m for example.
Total shortfall of 47m since 2022.
This is even with MOST of the funding coming from charity, as opposed to directly from the NHS. However, the physical and emotional suffering for the dying and the families is immense. The shortfall appears to be largely happening due to a reduced amount of giving, I’m sure we can all understand why there would be less donations in times like this, where everyone is facing rising costs, and relying on the good will of the public to operate critical care giving facilities is moronic.
The optics of dealing with a crisis like this for our cherished elderly British people while we funnel multiple BILLIONS into housing illegal migrants in hotels, and other associated costs, is horrific.
Can you see why the average British person is angry? We give away more money for housing young, healthy illegal foreigners than we do to our own sick and dying. It’s disgusting.
I’ve worked very closely with hospices as a community nurse and the fact that they rely on fucking charity for two thirds of their funding continues to blow my mind. In 25 years I never met a bad hospice.
It’s a massive failure as a society that we continue to outsource vital services to charities instead of funding them – but our rulers think it more important to have subsidised meals and wine in their workplace and extract money from us to give to the wealthy.
Even just the Hospice at Home service is worth it’s weight in gold. Inpatient beds are worth even more.
But it doesn’t affect the millionaires, and it’s not been made an issue that anyone votes on – so who cares.
