(Right to Life UK) — More than 140 doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers in Yorkshire have called on MPs to reject the new assisted suicide bill at its second reading on September 11, calling it “unsafe.” “Without national focus and funding reviews to bolster palliative care provision in each of these areas, we risk palliative care services becoming ever-more stretched,” they said. The assisted suicide lobby had relied heavily on the previous prime minister, Keir Starmer, publicly backing Kim Leadbeater MP’s previous assisted suicide bill – with Starmer voting in favor of the bill and granting it additional time to be debated in Parliament. Only 12 MPs need to change their minds for the new assisted suicide bill to fall. Burnham’s chief whip, Anneliese Midgley, previously said the assisted suicide bill “doesn’t do enough to protect vulnerable people, especially those who are disabled or poor.”
