Hospice care in Wales provides significant relief for pain, anxiety and daily needs, enabling more comfortable, peaceful end-of-life experiences and personalised support for patients and families. Many hospices are under severe financial strain because the prevailing funding model is unsustainable, with nine of 14 hospices forecasting deficits for 2025–26, one closed and another temporarily shut due to rising running costs.
