Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
The amendments will take control of the processes of assisted dying away from the Secretary of State and give it to this assisted dying help service. It is not a help service when one examines the amendments; it is an entire process and it should be called the assisted dying service. Amendment 771 requires that it has a regional structure and that it will validate training qualifications, provide licences and so forth. Can the proposers of these amendments or the Minister tell us how this structure will be established, managed, supervised and held to account?
