Rachael Maskell stated that there is considerable concern among MPs about the expedited nature of the assisted dying bill, calling for a broader exploration of palliative care instead.
New Labour MPs are particularly vocal about their opposition to the speed of the legislation, feeling it undermines the importance of a thorough review of the implications of assisted dying.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood have announced their opposition to the bill, amplifying concerns regarding the timing of the proposal amid existing healthcare challenges.
Many MPs believe that the vote on assisted dying should be postponed until the government demonstrates significant improvements in the NHS, fearing a hasty decision could send a dangerous message.
