Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Lab)

May I just finish? The noble Lord, Lord Stevens, refers to proposed new paragraph (m) in the scheme. Under the scheme proposal, the panel of up to seven persons has to be satisfied, or the “assessment must ascertain”, that the person “has experienced the involvement of a specialist palliative care team and, if not, whether this was because of availability, unsatisfactory care or patient choice”. I am very supportive of the idea—and I think this was in the noble Lord’s mind—that as much information is available as possible. As I understood the noble Lord, the more we know about the shortcomings of palliative care, the better. However, I wonder whether the best way to deal with that is not to make a requirement in proposed new paragraph (m) for what a seven-person panel must investigate but to make that the sort of issue that the voluntary assisted dying commissioner should be looking at in his monitoring, which is required specifically by the statute. That is just the sort of thing that might help him. We all support the point that the noble Lord, Lord Stevens, made that the more we know about palliative care—its funding, where it is good and where it is bad—the better. But is the assisted dying Bill the right place to try to lever in a whole range of informational requirements, of the sort that he referred to from the Mental Health Act, which we would all support?
