Finally, a report came out from the Commons Library on 8 January 2025. This was about addressing the speed at which the navigator might push somebody through. It looked at the data of 300 patients who were referred to hospice care in London for palliative care. Some 33 of those, 11%, had a very strong desire to hasten their death, but, after four weeks of hospice care, a quarter no longer desired a hastened death. The amendments in front of us would not give any time to allow a person to absorb any information to be able to clearly make that decision. I do not think that, in its current format, this would be an addition to the Bill.
