• “The proposed Assisted Dying Bill which, at the time of writing, has passed through the House of Commons and now due to be considered in the House of Lords also presents a few potential risks for the Hospice.”
• “Holding vacancies for key roles has an impact on the quality and ability of the Hospice to deliver services and functions.”
• “health and safety issues remain a significant risk area for the Hospice, with a number of hospice functions posing risks for hospice colleagues”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
