Lord Ashcombe (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 November 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I would like to go back to our noble colleague from Yorkshire—I am afraid I do not know the noble Lord’s name and I apologise. He talked about working in the communities in the East End. We are short of GPs as it is, and most of our GPs come from an Anglo-Saxon background still. The noble Lord referred to the fact that, having worked with this community for a very long time, he still could not necessarily read the situation. I wonder how we deal with that, because the GPs in that community may not have had the length of time that he had to assess these situations.
