"It's not actually going to address the fundamental challenges."
@smhbasingstoke has received just over £86,000 from Hospice UK.
However, chief executive Iain Cameron told That's TV why the limitations imposed on the money mean it will not stretch far enough.
Just popped in to @smhbasingstoke to thank the staff and someone had beaten me to it!
It’s been a crazy year. Did not see that coming 12 months ago! A lot has changed, a lot achieved. Feeling blessed 2 be involved with both @smhbasingstoke & @Rowanshospice as we continue to serve our great communities! Looking forward to a break now as I’m #DrivingHomeForChristmas

Great to have @kitmalthouse join us today for an open, frank conversation about the poor state of #EndOfLife funding and the impact of the recent budget on our future
MP @Kitmalthouse met with Iain Cameron, our CEO, and Lorraine Pink, Director of Income Generation, today to find out more about the financial challenges we're facing due to the low NHS funding we receive and the upcoming changes regarding National Insurance.

We're proud to share our staff's dedication to patients and their families: Susan, diagnosed with cancer in summer, couldn't attend her daughter's wedding. The hospice team organised a blessing in the gardens, led by chaplain Karen, creating precious memories.

This is devastating news.
Community hospice services are vital for providing quality, compassionate care at the most difficult times.
They also play an invaluable role in easing the pressure on hospitals.
