CHILDREN'S HOSPICE FUNDING
EDM number 1500 in 2005-06, proposed by Bob Spink on 26/01/2006.
That this House notes that children's hospices receive only five per cent. on average of their funding from public funds and some receive only two per cent.; pays tribute to all who work as staff or volunteers in the hospice movement; commends the Children's Hospice funding petition of the Sun newpaper and Somerfields and Kwik Save supermarkets which has now been supported by well in excess of 200,000 UK residents; and calls on the Government to review its policy on this and to ensure that children's hospices receive at least 30 per cent. of their funding from public funds, in a similar way to adult hospices.
This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
