A Renfrewshire hospice, which has seen its costs rise by more than £300,000 in the past year, says it needs more cash from the Scottish Government if a palliative care crisis is to be avoided.
Accord Hospice made the cash plea in a bid to avoid the catastrophic funding shortfall expected if the organisation meets the 6.5 per cent wage increase offered to medics in the NHS.
The charity, which employs 80 people, could see its wage bill alone rocket to £3.3 million for 2023/24 if it were to match fund the NHS hike.
