Meeting description: We showcased the work that CHAS and Robin House specifically does to support children with life-shortening conditions across Scotland. We highlighted our key calls: continued sustainable funding for children's hospice care in Scotland at 50% of costs over the next 5 years; a new national plan for palliative care in Scotland that addresses the needs of children; an expanded specialist workforce trained to meet increasingly complex needs; bespoke support for children with complex needs living into adulthood; and better financial support for struggling families including after a child dies.
