HOSPICES providing end-of-life care for terminally ill people are facing a £60 million funding shortfall.

Hospice UK, which represents more than 200 hospices, said they now receive more income from their charity shops than they do from the government.

The charity warned in July that hospice finances are in their worst state for 20 years, meaning fewer patient beds, staff redundancies and fewer home visits to dying patients.
