Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 December 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

In relation to these amendments, not everyone will require face-to-face appointments or a home visit with a GP and we would be concerned about the operational impacts of mandating a specific number of consultations or visits where this is not based on clinical need. Additionally, in relation to Amendments 20 and 29 specifically, home visits are generally offered only where clinically appropriate for the patient, and the stipulation on this may restrict eligibility.
