Southport MP Patrick Hurley issues statment about the Assisted Dying Bill
PATRICK Hurley who is the Southport Member of Parliament for Southport, has issued the following statement:- "Thank you to everyone who has written to me about the Assisted Dying Bill. This is one of the most difficult and personal issues we debate in Parliament, and I’ve read every message with care and compassion. I understand why people support this Bill; because they want to relieve suffering and offer dignity at the end of life. But I have deep concerns. Creating a strict legal framework for assisted dying risks missing the unique and deeply personal circumstances each person faces. No piece of legislation can fully capture the complexity of end of life decisions, and the consequences of getting it wrong are too great. Rather than legislate in this area, I believe our focus should be on making sure every person in this country has access to world class palliative care. Everyone deserves dignity, support, and the right to a peaceful, well supported end of life; regardless of where they live. For these reasons, I cannot support the bill. But I remain committed to listening, to learning, and to fighting for better care and compassion for everyone at life’s end. Thank you again to all who've shared your views with me. These are conversations we must continue with honesty, empathy, and care."
