Wirral Rural District was a rural district on the Wirral Peninsula in Cheshire, England from 1894 to 1933. It was created under the Local Government Act 1894 from the Wirral Rural Sanitary District. From the beginning of the twentieth century, some civil parishes were transferred to the control of neighbouring local authorities. Netherpool, Whitby and Overpool had become part of Ellesmere Port Urban District by 1911. Landican, Prenton and Thingwall were absorbed into Birkenhead County Borough in 1928.Wirral Rural District was abolished on 1 April 1933 under a County Review Order, with the remaining civil parishes being split between Bebington Urban District, Birkenhead County Borough, Ellesmere Port Urban District, Hoylake Urban District, Neston Urban District, Wallasey County Borough and the new Wirral Urban District.As of 2023 the area of the former rural district is divided between the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral in Merseyside and the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester in Cheshire.

Claire House Children's Hospice is a children's hospice in Merseyside. The hospice helps seriously and terminally ill children from 0–23 years by providing specialist nursing care and emotional support. It has provided care for children and young people across Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales since it opened in 1998. The organisation has two sites: a hospice in Bebington, the Wirral, and the Hub in West Derby, Liverpool, that offers day care. Support can be provided at Claire House or at home and can be for the child, young person or for family members. The charity has featured on Children in Need in 2011, 2014 and 2016. It also has high-profile supporters including Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney. As of 2017, the charity is providing care for over 200 babies, children and young people and supporting more than 200 bereaved families. In July 2015 Claire House was rated as 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission. Claire House, Wirral is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and offers a range of services. Children can have fun in the multi-sensory room, art room, hydrotherapy pool and Jacuzzi. There is a separate wing complete with bar, sound system and Xbox for teenagers and young adults. Claire House also provides end of life care, ensuring that a child's last days are as comfortable and memorable as possible.
