Marie Curie say the budget lacks funding for palliative care

Marie Curie based in the capital say that Rachel Reeves’s rises in employer National Insurance contributions are going to put considerable additional cost pressures on not-for-profit organisations like themselves.

They also said they are shocked by the lack of measures in the budget to fix palliative care despite the health secretary
