The wealthy already had the option of travelling overseas for 'assisted dying'. This bill, and the initiatives for GP's to sign up their patients for 'do not resuscitate' orders, need to be considered in the context of the drastic welfare cuts being pushed through by Labour.

Great post. As a former NHS mental health support worker, and a mental health patient, I agree that the lack of psychiatric input into the assisted dying debate belies the attitudes to mental health patients and provision. No matter your views on assisted dying, this ‘oversight’ is important and highly relevant. Thanks for writing.
