Durham MP pens letter to Government amid financial crisis at St Cuthbert's Hospice

The article from MSN discusses a financial crisis at St Cuthbert's Hospice in Durham, where the charity is facing a £1.2 million deficit. Mary Kelly Foy, the MP for Durham, has written to the government urging for immediate financial support to prevent the hospice from cutting services or closing. The hospice, which provides palliative care, has seen a significant increase in costs due to inflation and energy prices, alongside a drop in donations. Foy's letter highlights the critical role of the hospice in the community, emphasizing that without government intervention, the care for terminally ill patients could be severely compromised. The letter also points out the broader issue of funding for hospices, which rely heavily on public donations and fundraising efforts, now strained by the economic climate.
