🙌🏼 A campaign win, but more to do: yesterday, we were at Westminster pressing ministers to maintain the £25m Children’s Hospice Grant in England. Today, Health and Social Care Secretary @wesstreeting said he will make an announcement before Christmas, but that it will continue.

Good to see both the #darzi report and the @RCPCHtweets blueprint recognising the increase in childrenwith complex and life-limiting conditions - if we improve the system for this group then it will work for all children - the reverse is not true @CheungRonny @CSI_KCL
We are pleased to see our evidence reflected in the #Darzi Review and welcome the long overdue focus on children's health and the workforce.
We now call for swift action to address the specific challenges identified in the review. Read our response: rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/news…
ALT Infographic with blue background and white text that reads: "The findings of the Darzi Review confirm the concerns our members have been raising for years - our child health services are in crisis. Despite the best efforts of the child health workforce, chronic underinvestment and a lack of focus on children in health policy, has resulted in children in the UK having some of the worst health outcomes in Europe". The quote is signed by Dr Ronny Cheung, Officer for Health Services.

Thank you @BBCBreakfast for having me on to talk about inadequate resourcing of children's palliative care. #shortlivescantwait @Tog4ShortLives
📺Did you catch @itsandyfletch on @BBCBreakfast this morning? He discussed the issues facing children’s palliative care and the urgent action needed to fix them.
Your voice has power. Sign our open letter to the Prime Minister to call for action today: bit.ly/4aHc6pw

Hope can be sustained while holding both realistic and unrealistic illness expectations. Communication about serious news should focus on clarifying the expectations as well as supporting people’s hope. #hpm #hapc buff.ly/3SL1YWK

Hoping that palliative care is included #pedpc @drbobphillips @CCLG_UK
Exciting news! Today @DHSCgovuk has announced the launch of a Children and Young People’s Cancer Taskforce, bringing together experts to explore how to improve treatment, detection and diagnosis, and research for cancer in children and young people: bit.ly/3Uum2xS

Experts in #LearningDisability worked with volunteers who live with LD or/and autism to develop a guideline for talking about #death.
The volunteers used & reviewed established resources to give their opinions. We learned so much!
Please look at their poster.

🆕 Important story tonight @SkyNews news.sky.com/story/amp/paren… It's vital that @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland fill the £300m children's #palliativecare funding gap & maintain the crucial £25m #childrenshospice grant as a central fund. Thanks @ashishskynews for covering.

Dear 🇬🇧,
A vote for the @Conservatives is a vote to kill the NHS. After 13 years of running the NHS into the ground, they have sacrificed your public health for their private wealth for far too long. If you value your family's safety, never vote for them ever again.

In 14 years as a doctor I’ve never known such horrific conditions. Patients dying on trolleys with zero dignity. Or screaming & moaning in corridors. Dickensian overcrowding, total implosion. Despair. Weeping staff. Abject misery.
Do you care at all @Jeremy_Hunt? @SteveBarclay?
Lis Meates retweeted
Commissioning of palliative care is piecemeal & inadequate. ICSs have responsibility to step up. We can't blame uncommissioned services for gaps in a broken system.
Time to act @SteveBarclay

This is a topic which is more prevalent now than ever before. Talking to relevant others about any financial difficulties is the first step to relieving some of your worries. Speak out to others who understand.
