Preston and Ost Policy Brief, Terminally Ill Adults (end of life) Bill for the House of Commons Oct 2024

Activity: Expert Knowledge and Consultancy typesExpert Opinion

3/10/2025

There is increasing momentum behind legal reform to permit assisted dying (AD) in England and Wales, but nearly half of doctors do not want to participate in AD in any way.
This is a rare policy case where how we do it matters more than should we do it. The potential future implementation of AD will be highly complex and contested. Yet the debate is so focused on changing the law that delivery of AD is at real risk of being overlooked.
