Five hospices have planned job cuts in the past two months due to financial pressures.

St Giles Hospice in West Midlands is consulting staff on a reduction of 40 posts, including clinical roles.

Hospice UK says government must provide urgent cash investment.

Department of Health and Social Care says challenges will "take time to fix".

"Hospices provide vital, compassionate care for people facing the end of their lives, and invaluable support to their families. We want everyone to have access to high-quality end of life care. "This government is determined to shift more healthcare out of hospitals and into the community, to ensure patients and their families receive personalised care in the most appropriate setting.".
