New clause 17 would prevent regulated care homes and hospices from facing any detrimental consequences for not providing or permitting assistance in accordance with the Bill. It would also provide that their funding must not be conditional on them providing or permitting such assistance to take place on their premises. New clause 18, in introducing a statutory right for a care home or hospice provider to decide whether they wish to provide or permit assistance to be provided on their premises, would similarly mean that a person who is terminally ill could be asked or required to leave that care home or hospice to receive assistance under the Bill.
