Doc Hilary: I would help a suffering patient end their life if law changes

TV GP Jones 'very clear' on End of Life Bill

TV doctor Hilary Jones has said he would help patients end their lives if assisted dying is legalised.

Dr Jones, 71, insisted: "Absolutely. If I know the patient, I know what their wishes are, I see them suffering, and there is nothing more I can do to help their suffering then, absolutely. I would hold their hand and help them achieve what they want to achieve."

The GP, who is seen on ITV's Good Morning Britain and Lorraine, said: "I've always felt it is the most humane, kind and compassionate thing that relatives and doctors can provide.

"Knowing that person's wishes are respected and known, that there is full mental capacity and that they are surrounded by love. And for me, it has always been very clear."
