Ms Charnley mentioned the institute's links with hospices and hospitals. Is there an outreach service for rural areas? I refer, in particular, to home care packages, which I acknowledge are expensive, but there has been a great deal of lobbying about them. Hospices are sometimes more concerned with facilitating visits rather than providing beds. Does any aspect of the institute's work address that in the context of rural areas?
