The children's hospice told the ECHO that 'both services are needed - Zoe's Place and Claire House'
Claire House children's hospice has today provided clarity over the services it will be able to provide to families on Merseyside in the wake of the announcement that the Liverpool Zoe's Place baby hospice will close by the end of the year . Like Zoe's Place, Claire House is a lifeline for families with seriously ill children in our region , giving them vital support.
Today, in an interview with the ECHO, Hannah Shannon from Claire House clarified what the hospice will be able to offer families who currently attend Zoe's Place. She said: 'Our hearts go out to the staff at Zoe's Place and the families who use it. We want to reassure families as much as we can. But we probably won't be able to take in all the children from Zoe's Place. We can only look after the sickest of the children - those in need of palliative and end-of-life care.
