| Annotation | This Private member's Bill was introduced in the House of Lords by Lord Joffe. If enacted, the Bill will enable a competent adult who is suffering unbearably as a result of a terminal illness to receive medical assistance to die at his own considered and persistent request. The Bill also makes provision for a person suffering from a terminal illness to receive pain relief medication. This Bill is the third revision to be printed. The Bill was discontinued due to prorogation after the debate was adjourned on 12 May in this session. (KJ/RH). |
