#AssistedSuicide Bill committee 19 March:
@NazShahBfd quotes Dr Sarah Cox (
@APMPostTweets President):
I am also concerned about our
#palliativecare workforce, which we know is already in crisis. 83% of our members told the Royal College of Physicians in 2023 that they had staffing gaps, and more than 50% were unable to take leave because of those staffing gaps. 43% said that if assisted dying were implemented within their organisation, they would have to leave. This has a massive impact on palliative care, in terms of its potential to develop both our funding and our workforce, who are really concerned about this.
