Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, with regard to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, whether they plan to ringfence additional GP capacity for the assessments to be made by a coordinating and an independent doctor if the Bill were to receive Royal Assent.

The Government remains neutral on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Should the bill gain Royal Assent, detailed work on a delivery model would need to be undertaken. This work would include developing workforce regulations and guidance.
