Hospice Care Week 2013
The motion
That the Parliament notes that 7 to 13 October 2013 is Hospice Care Week; notes that there are 24 inpatient units in Scotland caring for adults approaching the end of life, over half of which are charitable hospices; considers that there is a growing need for hospice care across Scotland and that the increased demand and need for hospice care will come from people with more complex health and social care needs; understands that hospices continue to require the support of the communities that they serve; acknowledges the ongoing Scottish Government and NHS support for hospice care in Scotland, and welcomes the call of Help the Hospices and Marie Curie Cancer Care for there to be continued commitment and support for hospice care in Scotland to meet the growing need.
