Nerys Davies, of Llanrwst, whose son Bedwyr visits Ty Gobaith TY GOBAITH Children's Hospice has demanded fairer funding from the Welsh Government, ahead of the elections. North Wales-based Tŷ Gobaith and South Wales-based Tŷ Hafan, provide respite and palliative care for more than 400 families with terminally ill children but the two hospices receive less than 10 per cent of their annual funding from the Welsh Government. Children’s hospices in England receive 21 per cent government funding, Northern Ireland 25 per cent and Scotland 50 per cent. The hospices have joined forces to ask candidates from all parties in the forthcoming Senedd elections on May 6, to publicly pledge their commitment to the establishment of a sustainable and fair funding system that children and families can rely on. They have called their proposal a ‘Lifeline Fund’.
