Chaplaincy crisis

The chaplaincy crisis in the National Health Service needs urgent ministerial attention, following new research revealed swinging cuts to the service throughout England, says a trade union group representing multi-faith chaplains.

The call from Unite/The College of Health Care Chaplains (CHCC) comes as research by the think tank Theos, which is backed by the Bible Society and major church leaders, released on 7 October, showed big cuts in chaplaincy provision in nearly 25% of NHS trusts in England.
