I was pleased to join Community Energy Scotland in Edinburgh on Thursday for their community energy hustings ahead of the May elections. Very interesting and animated discussions - as usual, I am a huge advocate for community benefits and community ownership of energy, to ensure that all benefit!

We’re all grieved over the deaths of Lewis, Cameron, and Fergus last year, in August. I’ve spoken to Allan, Lewis’ father, and spoke in Parliament on Thursday in support of the campaign to introduce gradated licences for young people. The evidence shows that it can make a life saving difference.

As with so many services, the rural Highlands has far worse internet connectivity than elsewhere. In the UK there is 78.5% gigabit availability; for example in the North East of Skye there is only 3%, and South Skye its 4.5%. No wonder so many people cannot work remotely on the West.

This Labour Government is just moving asylum seekers from one kind of unsuitable and costly accommodation to another, instead of tackling the real issue - speeding up asylum decisions. Compassion must guide our approach, but so must common sense.

I’ve secured a meeting with UK Ministers to tackle the deep unfairness of rural energy costs - when Highland households pay up to four times more to heat their homes than those in cities. Communities generating clean power should benefit, instead of being penalised with higher bills.

With support from Lib Dem colleagues, I've urged the Health Secretary to urgently address the hospice care crisis. We can't accept a diminishing service where care is rationed and fundraising lags. Thousands need relief, and we must do better.

300 beds lie empty, while people have to be turned away. Inpatient units are closing. We face the threat of 1/2 of children’s hospices cutting their end-of-life care or scrapping it altogether if funding is not urgently guaranteed. Hospices relieve pressure on our NHS and offer extraordinary dignity and comfort for people. Yet just ⅓ of their income comes, on average, from our NHS. Many receive substantially less because each hospice must plead for funding from their local ICB, with no national recognition of their value. Hospices suffered real cuts under the last government, and now a massive NICs raid under this one. 40% of hospices are planning cuts this year with more to come. There have been hundreds of jobs lost. Care at home services have been cut, inpatient units closed, and beds shuttered. We are calling on you to:
• End the postcode lottery of hospice care by allocating funding by demand so
that areas that struggle to attract charitable funding are properly supported

• Protect children’s hospices by maintaining their ringfenced funding and following the recommendations for annual uplifts.
• Exempting hospices from increases in Employer NICs.
• Tackle understaffing through a dedicated hospice workforce plan to cut vacancy rates.
• Support bereaved families by working with hospices to improve access to counselling and therapy for anyone needing support from the point of a loved one’s diagnosis.
• Properly integrate hospices with our NHS including by embedding palliative care specialists in every hospital emergency department so people can be redirected towards care in the community. We also urge you to add End of Life Care advice as a call option on the 111
service.
We cannot accept a Cinderella service, where dwindling hospice care is rationed and
charitable fundraising falls further and further behind what is needed. Thousands of
sick and dying people are crying out for relief. They deserve a system fit for the 21st
century.
Yours sincerely,

Alison Bennett Lib Dem Care and Carers Spokesperson
