Two major calls for evidence have been issued at Westminster: one on the state of palliative care, and the other on the substance of Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide bill.
Former PM Gordon Brown joins the Health and Justice Secretaries, Lib Dem leader, disability rights groups, and medical bodies in urging the Bill’s rejection on 29 November.
Thousands of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals say: or the sake of us all, do not rush into hasty legislation but instead fund excellent palliative care
"This bill is being rushed with indecent haste and ignores the deep-seated problems in the UK’s broken and patchy palliative care system and the crisis in social care"
