Politics aside, here are 10 reasons why using the Parliament Acts to force the Terminally Ill Adults Bill into law is a bad idea: 1. The Royal College of Physicians have said the Bill is unsafe 2. The Royal College of Psychiatrists have said the Bill is unworkable, and unsafe 3. The British Geriatrics Society have said the Bill’s safeguards are not adequate 4. Domestic abuse charities have said the Bill is unsafe 5. Organisations representing disabled people have said the Bill is unsafe 6. Royal College of GPs says the Bill lacks adequate safeguards 7. Lord Stevens, ex NHS CEO, said legislating for assisted dying in the current climate of hospice cuts is “utterly ridiculous” 8. MIND says the safeguards are not adequate 9. The CLADD group at KCL (DOI) have said the Bill is “not fit for purpose” 10. The British Association of Social Workers say the Bill’s is not safe enough

Last week we discussed the Assisted Dying Bill - terminally ill patients should be offered specialised palliative care that can so often alleviate suffering. Too many pushing for assisted dying use the argument of intolerable pain to scaremonger. It is also chilling and galling that the NHS-run state assisted dying scheme will cost a fortune while government policies are destroying many hospices.

I did enjoy recording this podcast. Thanks Steve
