The new Children's Hospice at Home Service for the SHSSB area, is to develop and provide a flexible hospice at home service to life-limited children and their families by recruiting and training nurses and carers to provide support, planned and emergency respite, nursing care and 'end of life' care at home. It will benefit 155 young people, who are aged 0-18 and who have life-limiting conditions and 200 siblings over a five-year period.
