Streeting approves of Bill changes
Bristol Post
|May 07, 2025
ALLOWING pharmacists and other staff to refuse to take part in assisted dying procedures is a “positive devel- opment” but “doesn’t change my view on the Bill as a whole’, the Health Sec- retary has said.
-
Wes Streeting, who is against changing in the law to allow terminally ill people the right to choose to end their life, said MPs were taking the issue “really seriously’.
The legislation as it is currently drafted means that doctors and other health professionals can refuse to take part, but a new amendment expected to be tabled this week is expected to say that “no person is under any duty to participate in the provision of assistance”.
