I ask the Minister: what are the Government doing about frailty? We discussed that last week. Some 10% of people over 65 are frail, which goes up to nearly 50% for those over 85, and 30% to 40% of people over 65 who are admitted to acute wards are living with frailty. These would all impact whether somebody would choose assisted suicide. I recognise this crosses into some of the groups we will talk about later, about whether someone may refuse treatment.
