The funding will be given to modernise facilities, improve IT systems and ensure highest quality of care.

The government said the cash will be distributed immediately.

Minister for Care Stephen Kinnock said: “This is the largest investment in a generation to help transform hospice facilities across England.

“From upgrading patient rooms to improving gardens and outdoor spaces, this funding will make a real difference to people at the end of their lives. 

“Hospices provide invaluable care and support when people need it most and this funding boost will ensure they are able to continue delivering exceptional care in better, modernised facilities.”

A key focus of the investment will be digital transformation, enabling hospices to modernise their IT systems and improve data sharing between healthcare providers.

The funding will also support the development of outreach services, allowing hospices to extend their care beyond their physical buildings. This includes investing in mobile equipment and technology that will help support people who wish to receive end-of-life care in their own homes.
