Question
Will the Counsel General provide an update on the constitutional implications to Wales of the Westminster Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Assisted dying is a reserved matter about which the Senedd cannot legislate. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill was introduced as a private members Bill and is currently at committee stage in the House of Commons. We do not yet know what the final content of the Bill will be. We are in regular contact with the UK Government to understand and plan for the implications of this Bill for Wales.
