NSC knows most things, and wonder if anyone can help me with this.
Why are hospices not fully funded from central taxation ?
Before I write to my MP or the Health minister, does anyone know what the "party line" is?
What official load of bollocks will they use to try and explain this ridiculous anomaly?
I have got a mate in the Martlets at the moment and have regularly done fund raising for them but cannot for the life of me understand why this fantastic place, and all the others, are not fully funded. The Martlets have had to reduce their services this year because of lack of funds.
I don't want to start a debate here about funding nuclear missiles and the foreign aid budget, but genuinely want to know why Hospices are charities and get only about 30% of funding from my taxes.
If I know what the official line is, I can ask the question in such a way that they might actually answer the question, rather than send me a pre-prepared standard letter.
