00:00Today we're announcing two things which are great news for hospices ahead of Christmas.

00:04The £100m we're announcing over this year and next will help hospices to invest in not

00:10just the buildings but the equipment and the kit that they need to provide modern support

00:15for people, not just in hospice buildings like this but also the increasing range of

00:20hospice at home services. So it's going to make a real difference for people.

00:23And for children's hospices in particular, which are really close to my heart, we're

00:27announcing £26m, that's an increase in previous grant funding that's been available to provide

00:34a wider range of services to a wider range of children and young people.
