Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2026
Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
Some 84% of providers of care homes said they have not been consulted on the Bill or its implications, and 24% of providers said staffing would become very difficult, as many staff would conscientiously object, with a further 16% expressing similar concerns. Only 14% reported staff being willing to participate in the whole procedure, 34% reported their staff not being willing to participate at all, and only 13% said they could manage assisted dying in their homes—only 13%. The potential impact of the Bill on care homes does not seem to have been addressed.
