Ms Coogan went on to praise Birmingham Hospice, where her dad spent two weeks in April and said she would like to see better funding for hospices.
“It is such a shame that more funding cannot be put into hospices where the nurses are dedicated and trained and it is their speciality to deal with end of life,” she said.
Birmingham Hospice had to reduce their number of beds in 2024 due to rising costs.
Paul Bytheway, their chief executive, said they were seeing rising demand for their care as people lived longer with “increasingly complex health conditions”.
“Sustainable, long-term government funding remains essential to maintaining and growing access to these vital services,” he added.
The government was working to make sure palliative and end-of-life care was sustainable, a spokesperson for the Department of Health said
“We are also investing an extra £100m to improve hospice facilities – which is the biggest investment in hospices in a generation and in addition NHS England is providing £26m for children and young people’s hospices.”
Birmingham Hospice had received £345,224 from the first part of the funding and £1,113,392 from the second, they added.
