Terminal Illnesses: Suicide
The question
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 his Department’s suicide prevention strategy.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
The Government is neutral on the matter of assisted dying and the passage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.
The Government remains committed to tackling suicide as one the biggest killers in this country and preventing lives being lost.
The suicide prevention strategy identifies priority areas for action to reduce suicide and we will continue to explore opportunities to go further.
