MPs chose to impose this Bill on Wales where the situation on palliative and hospice care is even worse. @CubbageEleri points out to the New Statesman a quarter of the population does not have access to hospice beds. Where is the choice for them?
Eleri Cubbage@CubbageEleri

Thanks @NewStatesman for publishing my letter and thanks to palliative care doctors like @ProfMarkTaubert for challenging the legislation

“As a constituency MP … I heard on more than one occasion—and I wish this wasn’t the case but it’s categorically true—people speak in the most unsavoury terms about wanting family members not to be alive.”

The Health Secretary KNOWS Starmer's Bill is NOT safe. People will be "compelled to take up an assisted death" because of the state of NHS and palliative care. He is an honest man but the Prime Minister has compelled his and every minister's silence. 🙏Josh Fenton-Glynn MP. Watch for the emphasis on 'workability' - not safety - at the end from the Permanent Secretary.

Initiating conversations with prominent figures in the sector during National Palliative Care Week #NPCW #PCA was incredibly enlightening! We’ve looked outward into the sector to gather perspectives, so we thought why not look inward within our PCOC team to share our insights ✨

Many British Geriatrics Society “members are not confident that effective legal safeguards could be developed to protect older people... the risk for safeguard failure is at least moderate in a modern, well-run AD service which we find to be unacceptable.” bgs.org.uk/bgs-position-s…

The Assisted Suicide Bill Committee has finished. My final speech here. This is not the Bill the public thought they were getting. It contradicts the NHS Act and the Hippocratic Oath. It's got worse, not better, in committee.

There's the cost/economic argument for #AssistedDying coming through. Last years of life most costly to healthcare, saving difficult to cost. Three studies attempted this, all indicated that AD laws can result in a substantial net reduction in healthcare costs 👇🧵
Nikki da Costa@nmdacosta

Kit Malthouse continues to argue that dying individuals are already receiving support on the NHS and 'expensive treatments' and we shouldn't pretend that the status quo is cost free. "Not only is it costly in monetary terms...costly in terms of humanity".

An FoI to Dept Work and Pensions reveals 1 in 5 people given 6 months to live are still alive after three years. Not surprising to any clinician. But pretty relevant to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life)* Bill *aka assisted dying
Janet Eastham@JanetEastham

1️⃣ Patients given a prognosis of six months by their doctors are entitled to be fast-tracked onto universal credit. But Department for Work and Pensions data obtained under FOI reveals that on average a fifth of terminally ill claimants are living much longer than expected.

Resharing my Atlantic piece about Jimmy Carter wanting to survive long enough to vote for Kamala. Dying cannot stop our yearning to make meaning, inspire and contribute. Death is generative. Who we are never ends. theatlantic.com/health/archive…
