Sue Ryder has called on the government to help them continue providing end-of-life care across Cambridgeshire, or face the risk of collapse.
The charity, which looks after residents in the county including in Fenland through its Thorpe Hall Hospice, wants the government to fund 70 per cent of costs for the palliative care sector, an additional £313m a year.
An independent report commissioned by the charity found that 28pc of the Thorpe Hall Hospice’s costs were funded by statutory income, while the remaining 72pc was covered by fundraising efforts.
The health minister, one of the few remaining hereditary peers, said that many people had had an extremely tough time during the pandemic and lacked the job security of an NHS post.
