Meeting description: Hospice UK held an exhibition in the Scottish Parliament where we spoke to the Member about: - the reach and breadth of support and care hospices provide across Scotland; - the role and aims of Hospice UK as a charitable membership organisation; - challenges facing the hospice sector in Scotland around funding models of commissioning local decision making & awareness; - broader issues around tackling barriers to everyone in Scotland in need being able to access palliative and end of life care; - new research published by Hospice UK and Sue Ryder into bereavement support in Scotland; specifically the finding that around a quarter of bereaved Scots wanted support beyond family and friends and could not access it.
