Lord Scriven (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I am not sure whether the noble Lord is aware that the GMC duties of a doctor are a legal requirement for a doctor to practise in the UK. The doctor therefore has to go through all those, regardless of what is in this Bill, to ensure that the patient is informed and understands the decision that is being taken by them.
