It can cost up to £400 to care for just one child in a hospice, and funding is getting slashed in health care across the board. And it is Christmas after all.

(or £6 per km, if my maths is correct) - that's a bit excessive. The Santa suits only cost about tuppence ha'penny, anyway. I hope some charity is benefiting from this. A tenner a mile!
