UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting has initiated a cost review regarding the proposed assisted dying law, expressing concerns that it could divert funds from other critical NHS services. The bill, which would allow terminally ill adults to seek assistance in ending their life under strict conditions, is set for parliamentary debate. Streeting underscored that implementing such a law could lead to significant financial implications for the health service. He emphasized the need for respect towards differing clinical opinions and highlighted the inadequacy of the current palliative care system in offering real choices for terminally ill patients.
