Queenscourt Hospice in Southport faces closure due to a multi-million-pound deficit, with local MP Patrick Hurley securing a meeting with Health Secretary Wes Streeting to fight for funding. The hospice has cut services and staff, and Hospice UK reports that six in ten English hospices are also cutting frontline services. Hurley is rallying community support to keep Queenscourt open and protect vital end-of-life care nationwide.
