Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
In his evidence to the Select Committee, Alasdair Henderson referred to the lack of services and how that might influence choice. I would not in any way want people to think that, because of a lack of social support, poor housing or myriad other reasons, this is the only option they have. If we are going to do this Bill it properly, it must be based on a genuine settled wish, with people being given the best possible choice available to them.
