Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to provide additional funding for the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Government is neutral on the passing of this Bill and the principle of assisted dying. Should it be the will of Parliament for this legislation to pass, the Government would address the issue of funding at the appropriate time.

In the meantime, I refer the hon. Member to the published impact assessment, which provides a range of potential cost estimates.
