Palliative Care
Asked by: Bradley Thomas (Conservative - Bromsgrove) Tuesday 18th February 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on palliative care. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life Bill) Bill continues to be a matter for Parliament and, as the bill progresses, members of Parliament, both Honourable and Right Honourable, will further debate and scrutinise the legislation, and the Government will respect Parliament’s will. An impact assessment is being developed, which will consider relevant impacts of the bill as it stands at the end of Committee Stage, based on the available evidence. Palliative and end of life care is a crucial part of the health and social care system. Irrespective of any legislation on assisted dying, everyone must be provided with high-quality, compassionate care from diagnosis through to the end of their life. This Government will shift the focus of healthcare out of the hospital and into the community and we recognise that it is vital to include palliative and end of life care in this shift. Earlier this month, I met the major palliative and end of life care stakeholders, and long-term sector sustainability, within the context of our 10-Year Health Plan, was discussed at length. I also met NHS England, and discussions have begun on how to reduce inequalities and variation in access to, and quality of, palliative and end of life care throughout England. |
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Asked by: Ben Spencer (Conservative - Runnymede and Weybridge) Thursday 13th February 2025 Question to the Leader of the House: To ask the Leader of the House, what steps she is taking to provide parliamentary scrutiny of Government involvement in amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill by hon. Members not on the bill committee. Answered by Lucy Powell - Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons While the Government have a neutral position on the principles of the Bill, we have a responsibility to ensure that any Bill passed by the House is workable and operable. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill was passed by the House at Second Reading, and the Government has therefore been in discussion with the Member in charge about the Bill’s deliverability and the overall coherence of the statute book. The Member in charge has tabled amendments based on these discussions. It is for the Committee to decide whether to accept each amendment. As with any Public Bill Committee, any Member can table amendments to the Bill during the Committee’s consideration, and Members not appointed to the Committee are free to observe the Committee’s proceedings (although only Members of the Committee can speak or move tabled amendments). Following the Committee stage, the whole House will have a further opportunity to scrutinise the Bill at Report stage. |
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Asked by: Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 5th February 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the cost and feasibility of implementing the High Court approval mechanism proposed in the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Now that Parliament has voted to give the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill a Second Reading, the Government will assess the impacts of the bill, and we expect to publish an impact assessment before Members of Parliament consider the bill at the Report stage. |
Members: Correspondence
Asked by: Robert Jenrick (Conservative - Newark) Tuesday 4th February 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when she plans to respond to the letter from the Rt hon. Member for Newark of 18 November 2024 on the assessment of the Government on the potential impact of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on the criminal justice system. Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) Minister Davies-Jones responded to the letter from the Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP on 27 November 2024. The Government remains neutral on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill but, as the public would expect, the Government has a responsibility to make sure any legislation that passes through Parliament is effective and enforceable. The Government will continue to assess the potential impacts of the Bill, which will include publishing an Impact Assessment before MPs consider the Bill at Report Stage. |
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Asked by: Richard Holden (Conservative - Basildon and Billericay) Monday 20th January 2025 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Cabinet Secretary Letter to UK Government Ministers of 3 October 2024 on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, for what reason Ministers were told not to take part in the public debate. Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office) The Cabinet Secretary’s letter set out for Ministers the Prime Minister’s decision on the government’s approach to legislation on assisted dying. As the letter said, collective responsibility on the merits of this Bill have been set aside and the Government will therefore continue to remain neutral on the passage of the Bill and on the matter of assisted dying. The letter was clear that the matter of assisted dying is one for Parliament and not Ministers to decide.

This continues to be a matter for Parliament and, as the Bill progresses, members of Parliament, both Honourable and Right Honourable, will further debate and scrutinise the legislation and the Government will respect Parliament’s will. |

This continues to be a matter for Parliament and, as the bill progresses, Members of Parliament, both Honourable and Right Honourable, will further debate and scrutinise the legislation and the Government will respect Parliament’s will. |
Euthanasia
Asked by: Helen Grant (Conservative - Maidstone and Malling) Thursday 28th November 2024 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of the capacity of the High Court (Family Division) to undertake reviews of all required cases under the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice) The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is not Government legislation. If the Bill were to progress, the Government may well assess the policy and its impacts. Should the Bill become law, the appropriate arrangements will be made to ensure the Government is able to fulfil its legal duties. |
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Asked by: Helen Grant (Conservative - Maidstone and Malling) Wednesday 27th November 2024 Question to the Attorney General: To ask the Solicitor General, if she will make an assessment of whether the restriction of the application of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill to terminally ill patients is compliant with the European Convention on Human Rights. Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) Paragraph 21.27 of Erskine May states: “By long-standing convention, observed by successive Governments, the fact of, and substance of advice from, the law officers of the Crown is not disclosed outside government. This convention is referred to in paragraph [5.14] of the Ministerial Code [updated on 6 November 2024]. The purpose of this convention is to enable the Government to obtain frank and full legal advice in confidence.” This is known as the Law Officers’ Convention and it applies to your question. |
