NHS England determines the best use of its financial settlement to deliver services. The Children’s Hospice Grant provides funding directly to hospices from NHS England, reviewed through the annual grant application process. The NHS Long Term Plan commits to increase the contribution to the Children’s Hospice Grant by up to £25 million a year by 2023/24. Funding arrangements beyond 2023/24 have not yet been agreed.
