Lord Harper (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

On that point, I also got a copy of that letter. It is worth saying that, in the 10-year plan, there is no ambition for high-quality, universal palliative care. It is not there. So, if the plan the Government are going to publish in the autumn is aligned with it, I think we can see that they do not plan on making universal, high-quality palliative care available in the next 10 years. That is a real problem for decisions taken under this Bill.
