The Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly TD, has announced an additional €10.68 million for the voluntary hospice sector in Ireland from this year onwards.
The €10.68 million in recurring annual funding will help to address the core funding shortfall which has contributed to ongoing financial challenges of the sector.
The funding will benefit the hospices which make up the Voluntary Hospice Group, including Marymount Hospice in Cork.
It aims to respond to the rising demand for high quality, accessible, palliative and end of life care which has been seen over the past two decades.
