Assessment to detain somebody under the Mental Health Act must, rightly, be done in person. Yet unbelievably the bill allows an assessment for a person to end their life, including capacity assessment and ruling out coercion, to be done online.

This Bill isn't safe.

A study published in 2021 shows that only 16% of hospices felt that they had wholly adequate care for patients with complex psychological needs. Psychological support & specialist psychiatric input is essential at the end of life. The assisted suicide bill is unsafe.

Proponents of the assisted suicide bill say it is about choice & compassion. There is no choice or compassion until everyone has equal access to holistic palliative care at the end of their life. My letter in The Telegraph on this topic below.

Please share my blog with MPs. It is clear this specific bill is unsafe, especially for the most vulnerable in society. Now is not the time with lack of palliative care and essential psychological support for those at the end of their life.

Don’t listen to campaigners - listen to experts.

Prof Charlotte Wilson Jones says she was “shocked” when she first read the bill.

“It falls short of even basic clinical practice” 👇

So important in our work as healthcare professionals. It feels very relevant at the moment.

Prof Charlotte Wilson Jones @CFWilsonJones Mar 11

Equally true for the Scottish bill and essential that it is understood no training can ensure coercion is definitely ruled out.
