In the UK, the cost of palliative care is mainly covered by the National Health Service (NHS). Patients with complex medical conditions are typically referred to specialist palliative care services, which are funded by the NHS. Additionally, charitable organisations and fundraising events provide financial support to ensure adequate funding for palliative care. However, it’s important to note that individual circumstances may vary, and some individuals may be required to contribute towards the cost of their care. Unfortunately medical cannabis, if deemed to be suitable, is rarely funded by the NHS.
