Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
“There is nothing in the Bill about how an assisted dying service might be delivered, although the possibility of a separate service is mentioned in the explanatory notes. Whilst it is not for the BMA to determine how any assisted dying service should be delivered, our view is that assisted dying should not be part of the standard role of doctors or integrated into existing care pathways – it is not something that a doctor can just add to their usual role”.
