HARLOW MP Chris Vince has issued a statement following the news that St Clare Hospice is facing serious financial challenges.

Mr Vince has always had a close relationship with St Clare Hospice. He raised thousands for them, running the London Marathon, back in April.

Mr Vince said: “I am sad to hear the news about the long term funding issues being faced by St Clare Hospice.

“I have long been a supporter of the incredible work done by St Clare and will continue to work with them, the ICB and the Government to do what I can to mitigate these issues”.
