People living in remote parts of the borders, faced with a long drive when they are not feeling well and needing to attend an appointment 55 miles away in Cramlington, for example, could have a greater sense of wanting to seek to end their life because of the stress and sheer exhaustion that comes with travelling such distances for cancer or other terminal illness treatments. I therefore ask the noble and learned Lord, what consideration has been given to those living in remote parts along the England-Scotland border?
