flag Welsh hospices face closures as funding shortfalls, staff cuts, and rising demand strain care for dying patients.

flag Terminally ill patients in Wales may face reduced hospice care as facilities struggle with financial strain, staff shortages, and rising demand. flag Hospices are operating at "breaking point," with some closing beds or laying off workers due to reliance on charity funding for 70% of costs. flag MPs and the Liberal Democrats are urging the Welsh Government to provide sustainable funding, ensure pay parity with the NHS, and reverse a national insurance increase costing hospices £40 million annually, warning that without reform, vital end-of-life services could be cut or shut down.
