Hospice cuts patient services due to £2m shortfall

Available for over a year

A hospice in Leicestershire is to cut patient services in a bid to bridge a £2m income shortfall. LOROS Hospice said it would be cutting inpatient ward beds, day therapy and other services for patients and families. The hospice said the decision came after a "perfect storm" of increased running costs, a reduction of income and a rise in demand from an ageing population. But it hopes the changes will "secure its long-term future". Loros CEO Camilla Barrow spoke to Âé¶¹Éç Leicester's Jo Russell.
