Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 December 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

Connected with that is the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Beith, which we will come to later, on why we say the general practice has got to be in England; you could have a general practice in Scotland for somebody who lives in England. Again, that point merits looking at. I cannot see why the general practice has got to be in England or Wales, because the purpose of having the general practice in England or Wales is to feed in records to various places. It does not depend on how often you see your GP and, if it is in Scotland, it achieves that. I hope that helps and I am more than happy to talk about those particular issues.
