Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
On Amendment 376, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Evans, the stated aim is to require that assessments by the co-ordinating doctor, an independent doctor, are carried out in person, not remotely. It is possible that requiring an in-person assessment could have some workability risks, given that there are some circumstances in which it is not possible for an in-person assessment to take place.
