Saint Michael’s Chief Executive Tony Collins statement on General Election

“A new government provides a chance for our sector to continue our calls for fairer government funding for hospices like ours across the UK.

“Locally, across the Harrogate district, we look forward to working with our new and returned MPs to continue this conversation and ensure our campaign for urgent action on increased government funding is represented in Parliament.

“This takes place amongst increasing need for vital hospice care and our rising costs due to inflation, and is crucial to ensure continued independent hospice-sector care today, tomorrow and in the years to come.”
