The Rotorua Community Hospice is welcoming a $400,000 boost from the Government for the two hospices in the Central North Island.
Hospice and palliative care services in the Central North Island will receive around $400,000 extra next year as part of the Government's $20 million hospice boost, announced this week.
The Rotorua Community Hospice and the Lake Taupo Hospice will share the extra funding. It is not yet known how the $400,000 would be divided between the two hospices.
Rotorua Community Hospice chief executive Sharron Black said she was delighted.
"It shows a commitment by the Government to support those palliative care providers that help New Zealanders who are coming to the end of their lives."
