If we look at the Scottish Bill, which I shall not do in any detail, we will see that Section 4 defines, for the purposes of that Bill, what a registered medical practitioner is and makes provision for the direction of medical practitioners, depending on their willingness to engage in this process. Section 6 deals with medical practitioners’ assessments, as does Section 7. Section 8 deals with medical practitioners’ statements. Section 10 deals with medical declarations. Section 11 deals with the cancellation of declarations. Section 15(8), which is the only part covered by the Section 30 order, deals with the medicines that may be employed for the purposes of assisted dying. Section 16 deals with final statements and Section 18 deals with conscientious objections, which leaves us with an employment law issue as well.
