title: A £30 million pledge for children's palliative care leads to a race against the clock to secure funding.
abstract: The government recently announced that up to £30 million would be made available to the children's palliative care sector in England, on the condition that the money is spent by March 2011. The challenge now is to ensure this money is spent on sustainable projects to develop children's palliative care before time runs out.
