FUNDING of more than £640,000 for St Giles Hospice has been welcomed by Lichfield’s MP.

The extra money for the Whittington-based charity is part of plans the Government say will transform the end of life care sector.

The national scheme aims to modernise hospices through upgrades such as specially-adapted beds, rooms and technology.

Lichfield MP Dave Robertson said:

> “The team at St Giles provide first-class care for people with life-limiting conditions. This money will make a real difference and support the vital work the hospice does.  
>  
> “There is still work to do, but this announcement is a step in the right direction for St Giles and the families it supports.”

Across England, more than 170 hospice sites are set to benefit from an additional £75million pot.

Elinor Eustace, CEO of St Giles Hospice, said:

> “We are grateful for this substantial additional funding which provides crucial support as we continue to face significant financial challenges, including increased National Insurance costs and potential NHS wage increases.  
>  
> “This funding will help us maintain our commitment to providing outstanding end of life care. However, while very welcome, this highlights the urgent need for sustainable, long-term funding reform.  
>  
> “The hospice sector cannot continue to rely on emergency funding packages – we need systemic change that ensures hospices can plan and deliver consistent, high-quality care without ongoing financial uncertainty.”
