On Amendment 41, we continue to be of the view that the right to an advance choice document is unlikely to improve their uptake. However, I have listened carefully to the concerns raised today and in Committee and we agree that the Bill could go further to help ensure the success of advance choice documents, so I am pleased to announce that we are exploring how we can strengthen and clarify the duties on health commissioners relating to advance choice documents. We intend to bring forward a legislative amendment in the Commons.
