The House of Lords Report on the Bill for “assisted dying for the terminally ill” is to be debated in the full House in mid-October. In the light of points made in the debate Lord Joffe intends to prepare a redrafted Bill for presentation to the House in the hope that it will be approved and then debated in the House of Commons later in the Session. The VES will again be devoting their resources to helping Lord Joffe in his work.
