Hospice cuts patient services due to £2m shortfall
A hospice in Leicestershire is to cut patient services in a bid to bridge a £2m income shortfall.
LOROS Hospice said it would be cutting inpatient ward beds, day therapy and other services for patients and families.
The hospice said the decision came after a "perfect storm" of increased running costs, a reduction of income and a rise in demand from an ageing population.
But it hopes the changes will "secure its long-term future".
Loros CEO Camilla Barrow spoke to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Leicester's Jo Russell.
