Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on what progress has been made towards the new national funding framework for hospice funding.
Answer
Work is ongoing to progress the national guidance framework on local planning and commissioning of independent hospice care, and to align the framework with our overarching palliative care strategy.
We will continue to work with Chief Officers and independent hospices to support longer term sustainable planning and commissioning for the hospice sector.
