Question
What discussions has the Cabinet Secretary had with the UK Government regarding the Westminster Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, to remove any risk of coercion should a Welsh speaker, deaf person or someone requiring assistance to communicate need an assessment of competency in their preferred language?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
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 contact with the UK Government to understand and plan for the implications of this Bill for Wales.
