Thanks for this very helpful letter. I have followed this debate here in Scotland since 2015, when Holyrood said they needed to improve palliative care provision here in Scotland. That has not happen and we are still waiting. Here in Orkney a safe home death is not an option. Both the bill being purposed are unsafe and lack detail, which was clear from the debate yesterday at Westminster. Assisted dying is what I call palliative care. What is being purposed is in fact Physician Assisted Suicide. That is a Dr will provide medication that I can take to end my life. Call it what it is - it is not assisted dying. This is a euphemism used by DiD to confuse the public. Our politicians and the public need to be very clear about the unintended consequences about the purposed bills. This letter goes someway in helping that conversation. Thank you
