Compassionate assisted dying bill backed by health minister
The Guardian
|November 20, 2024
The health minister Stephen Kinnock has said he will Vote in favour of the assisted dying bill next week, arguing that it is the "compassionate" thing to do and will not automatically place NHS palliative care services under extreme pressure.
Kinnock, the minister responsible for palliative care, said he did not see a conflict between backing the bill and supporting hospices, as had been suggested by his boss Wes Streeting, the health secretary.
He told ITV News: "I will be voting for the bill on 29 November. I don't think it's an either/or question on hospices and palliative care, but evidence shows that often countries and places that go with assisted dying actually see improvements in palliati Ve care coming from that."
