Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 March 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

Dr Jamilla Hussain, already referred to, described ethnic-minority women in Bradford who are “structurally disadvantaged”, fearful of services and lacking “culturally competent” support.
