Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill Committee

Scrutinising the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, this House of Lords Select Committee examines the proposed legislation to permit assisted dying for terminally ill adults in England and Wales. The Committee takes oral evidence from government departments, regulators, healthcare providers and other stakeholders as it conducts its detailed scrutiny. In its recent sessions, it has focused closely on safeguarding mechanisms and has heard from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society on implementation considerations. The Committee has also received evidence from the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England on service delivery and palliative care provision. Additional sessions have explored the voices and concerns of disabled people alongside the proposed certification and decision-making panel processes that would underpin the Bill's operation.
