Our next item of business is stage 3 proceedings on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill. In dealing with the amendments, members should have the bill as amended at stage 2—that is, Scottish Parliament bill 46A—the marshalled list and the groupings of amendments. The division bell will sound and proceedings will be suspended for around five minutes for the first division of the stage 3 today. The period of voting for the first division will be 30 seconds. Thereafter, I will allow a voting period of one minute for the first division after a debate. Members who wish to speak in the debate on any group of amendments should press their request-to-speak button or enter RTS in the chat as soon as possible after the group is called.
Members should now refer to the marshalled list of amendments.
Section 21A—Offence of advertising assisted dying
Group 16 is on the offence of advertising and the dissemination of information. Amendment 247, in the name of Murdo Fraser, is grouped with amendments 248, 52 and 71.
Before I talk about amendment 247, I draw members’ attention, if they are not already aware of this, to the fact that the Royal College of Psychiatrists in Scotland has just informed us in the past few moments that it has moved from a position of neutrality on the bill to a position of opposition. I hope that members will reflect on that when they reach a view on how they will vote on the bill in its entirety.
Amendment 247, which is in my name, would introduce a new subsection in section 21A that would create a mandatory requirement for all public-facing communications about assisted dying to include suicide prevention information. Its purpose is to ensure that vulnerable individuals, including those experiencing distress or suicidal thoughts, are provided with clear guidance and access to appropriate crisis support services.
Language is important in this debate. The bill that is before us is called the assisted dying bill, but we know that that language confuses people, because there are people who believe that the term “assisted dying” covers palliative care, the administration of pain relief and anyone’s life in a hospice. In reality, the bill is about assisting suicide. That is the legal reality. It has never been the case in Scots law that assisting someone to end their life has been legal, so the bill will represent a fundamental change in our law. On the two previous occasions when the Parliament has debated similar bills, those bills have been described as assisted suicide bills. There has been a deliberate change to sanitise the debate that we are having.
09:45
The change reflects another sanitisation. When the well-funded lobby group Dignity in Dying, which is promoting the bill, was formed many years ago, it was called the Euthanasia Society. In the 1970s, it rebranded itself as the Voluntary Euthanasia Society. Two decades ago, it rebranded itself again as Dignity in Dying. However, no one should be in any doubt as to the origins of the campaign group and its true agenda.
Suicide is a difficult subject for anyone to discuss. I know that those who support the bill do not wish to conflate what the bill seeks to do with suicide, but that is unavoidable for the reasons that I have outlined. Suicide is a terrible social curse.
I am finding the language that Murdo Fraser is using deeply offensive, and I say that as someone who will vote against the bill. He should, please, be careful about the language that he uses. Suicide is a very difficult issue to discuss, as he said, but what we are discussing is not suicide.
I gently say to Clare Haughey that the legal reality is that the bill would allow, for the first time in our history, individuals to help another individual to commit suicide.
Let me explain my thinking on the subject. Every suicide is a tragedy. It is an enormous tragedy for the life lost, and it is a huge tragedy for those left behind, who often wonder what more they might have done to prevent the tragic loss of life.
Suicide is the biggest cause of death among young men in Scotland today. It is a huge societal problem. I know that the Government does a lot of work on suicide prevention, but, in my view, we should be doing more—we should be doing everything that we can to prevent suicide.
I talk from personal experience. Many years ago, when I was a much younger man, I lost a dear and close friend to suicide, in circumstances that I find extremely painful to talk about even now. There was no advance warning. We were not aware of any suicidal intent. There was no history of depression or mental illness. There was no indication that that would happen. It came completely out of the blue and was utterly shocking.
I saw the impact that that young man’s suicide had on his family and friends, who were all utterly devastated. That horror remained with them for the rest of their lives. The young man’s mother died just a few years ago, and I had kept in very close contact with her. The horrendous and devastating impact of the young man’s death on her still haunts me.
We must do everything that we can to avoid the prospect of suicide having an impact on anyone’s life. If the bill is passed, I do not want there to be any hint, suggestion or muddling of the messages in relation to suicide prevention, because we would be legislating for suicide in particular circumstances. Amendment 247 would make it clear that we must do more to promote suicide prevention and provide support for those in crisis.
I am reminded of the years and years that it took for campaigners to secure safeguarding warnings attached to advertising on gambling and smoking products, for example. Let us get the bill right at the outset. If assisted dying is going to be advertised, patient information must be available, if it is requested. In my view, that should include signposting to suicide prevention organisations and charities. People must know that there is somewhere else that they can turn to and that all options are open to them if they request assisted dying.
I want the bill to contain every possible safeguard. It must be clear about who, where, why and how. It must include details on everything; it must not leave the details to regulations. As MSPs, we must be confident that we have done everything possible to make the bill as safe as possible.
[Made a request to intervene.]
I am just about to close, so I will not take the intervention, if Mr Harvie will forgive me.
I want suicide prevention to be absolutely central to what we are doing here, so I would like to see it addressed in the bill.
I will speak briefly to the other amendments in the group. My colleague Stephen Kerr’s amendment 248 covers similar territory, but goes further than my amendment, in that it seeks to create offences. I am happy to support it if my amendment does not succeed. Liam McArthur’s amendments 52 and 71 would create new offences and penalties and would provide for those to be made in regulations. I would be happy to support them if my amendment does not succeed.
I move amendment 247.
I call Stephen Kerr to speak to amendment 248 and the other amendments in the group.
I start by thanking Murdo Fraser for his powerful and sobering remarks.
Group 16 addresses an issue that may seem procedural but, as Murdo Fraser has described well, is at the heart of the concerns of many in the chamber who will oppose the bill. Those concerns relate to the way that assisted dying is described, which we have already had an exchange about, and the way that it is communicated to the public. Amendment 248, in my name, proposes a simple safeguard. When assisted dying is referred to publicly under the act, if the bill is passed, reference must also be made to information about suicide prevention and the availability of palliative care. That requirement is important. If the Parliament creates a lawful pathway for assisted dying, it will inevitably shape the wider conversation about suffering, death and the choices that people believe would be open to them. The way that information is presented will matter, particularly for those who may already feel vulnerable, isolated or overwhelmed. My amendment seeks to ensure that assisted dying is never presented in isolation from the care and support that should surround people. If someone encounters information about assisted dying, they should also encounter information about suicide prevention. They should know that help and intervention exist and that society has a duty to care for those who may be experiencing despair. Equally, they should encounter clear information about palliative care.
Many people do not realise how far palliative care has advanced or how effectively suffering can often be managed. That care should never sit quietly in the background while assisted dying becomes the focus of attention. If the law is to allow assistance in dying, we must ensure that help to live is never hidden from view. My colleague Murdo Fraser has already raised many important points about the need to ensure that people who request assisted dying are provided with information about suicide prevention. I agree with that approach. Amendment 248 would apply the same principle to the way in which the law would be communicated publicly.
I want to be clear with colleagues that I remain opposed to the bill. I do not believe that a law of this nature can ever be made entirely safe. However, if the Parliament proceeds, we must at least be honest about what we are discussing. The bill would permit doctors to assist individuals to end their lives, and that reality cannot be separated from the broader questions surrounding suicide prevention and support for those who are experiencing profound distress.
International experts have made similar points. The International Association for Suicide Prevention has stated that suicide involves intentionally carrying out an act to end one’s life and has warned that there can be an overlap between suicide, euthanasia and assisted dying. It has also emphasised that anyone who is considering ending their life should have access to high-quality suicide prevention support and intervention. We should listen to that advice. Amendment 248 seeks to ensure that the information that is communicated on the act, if the bill is passed, would reflect the responsibility that we have to make it safe. It would ensure that assisted dying is never presented without reference to prevention, support and care.
I am about to close, but I am happy to give way to Rona Mackay.
Is the member aware that people who are refused the choice to die with dignity often end up taking their own life anyway? There are multiple instances of that.
I think that Rona Mackay has made the case for my amendment. It is very important that, when people are presented with options, they are also given assurance that they will have the support, assistance and care that they deserve. That is what lies behind my amendment 248. With legislation that deals with matters that are as serious as life and death, the balance that I am proposing in the amendment is not unreasonable. It proposes a safeguard that we should insist on.
I call Liam McArthur to speak to amendment 52 and other amendments in the group.
I begin in customary fashion by reminding members of my entry in the register of members’ interests in relation to the support that I receive from three separate campaign organisations in the context of the bill. I also reflect that there might be other members who have participated in the debate who should declare similar interests.
An offence of advertising assisted dying was introduced at stage 2. I entirely support the creation of such an offence but I have also reflected on the Scottish Government’s commentary that the offence in the bill does not refer to intent or effect and contains multiple inconsistencies in definitions and exceptions.
On that basis, my amendments 52 and 71 introduce regulation-making powers for ministers to create an offence of advertising assisted dying and related penalties, an approach that was also taken in the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at Westminster. That would ensure that the offence is specific and effective in capturing those that it is intended to capture. Such regulations would also be subject to the affirmative procedure, which would allow the Parliament to scrutinise them properly.
Murdo Fraser’s amendment 247 and Stephen Kerr’s 248 both seem to require that any lawful communication about assisted dying must refer to, among other things, suicide prevention information. I strongly echo the comments on that from the convener of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee, Clare Haughey. I also refer to the statement issued by suicide prevention leaders in Australia, which specifically cautions against conflating suicide prevention and assisted dying in public communication. The statement says:
“Suicide prevention and”
voluntary assisted dying
“should be discussed separately. Confusing these terms can delay access to suicide prevention services for people in distress, and complicate or delay care for people with terminal illness who are seeking an additional choice at the end of life.
“In any public communication, it is important that we refrain from talking about”
assisted dying
“as suicide or using language that associates the two.”
For that reason, I do not support amendments 247 and 248 and urge the Parliament strongly to oppose them.
I begin with a statement that I put on the record when we were discussing last night’s last group: I absolutely appreciate the sensitivities of the subject. I have absolute sympathy with Murdo Fraser. He has my deepest sympathy for the case that he puts on the record. However, I also ask members to be careful not to conflate suicide and assisted death. I point to the Scottish Government’s suicide prevention strategy, which sets out our vision to reduce suicide deaths in Scotland.
We should recognise the fact that the United Nations has said that our suicide prevention strategy is world leading. I hope that members will not try to conflate the two issues but that seems to be what is happening. I want to ensure, as I am sure the cabinet secretary does, that our suicide prevention strategy remains the best that it can be. Some of this debate is not in any way helpful and will be causing a lot of pain outside the Parliament.
I note the points that Mr Stewart made. I understand the sensitivities and the very strong views that there are on the matter. I rest on the points that I opened with, which I hope reassures him.
I begin my substantive discussion of the amendments in the group with amendment 247, which would place a significant onus—and, possibly, cost burden—on anyone who produces materials about assisted dying for members of the public to provide information on which they might not have the required expertise.
The Scottish Government has significant concerns about amendment 248. From a legal perspective, the provision would create an offence in relation to the way in which assisted dying was referred to in public communication over and above the offence that is already in the bill. It has potentially very wide reach, as the communication that is intended for members of the public would only have to refer to assisted dying. It is questionable whether that is a proportionate measure.
From a technical perspective, it is not clear how amendment 248 would interact with the exemptions that are set out in section 21A(4).
From a delivery perspective, like amendment 247, amendment 248 would place a significant onus on anyone producing materials around assisted dying for the general public to provide the information as set out in the amendment, on which they may not have the required expertise. It could place a significant cost burden on the production of information for the general public around assisted dying.
The Scottish Government has no comment on the remaining amendments in the group.

I call Murdo Fraser to wind up and to press or withdraw amendment 247.
: I will respond very briefly.I appreciate that there are members who find it uncomfortable to talk about suicide in the context of this bill, but that is the reality of what we are facing. That is the practical impact of the bill before us. For the first time in our history, we would be legalising the assistance of somebody who was taking their own life.
This is an extremely sensitive subject for everyone. For Mr Fraser to use some of the language that he has used and to conflate two very different things is not befitting of the debate that we have had throughout our stage 3 consideration. It could be upsetting to people in the chamber and outside of it. Mr Fraser should know better; he should take a look at what he has said and maybe retract some of it and tone down the language a bit.
I say very gently to Mr Adam that that intervention is not worthy of him. We are dealing with a legal reality and a groundbreaking change in the law that will have a huge impact. All that I am seeking to do is to ensure that we put suicide prevention at the heart of the bill.
For that reason, I press amendment 247.
The question is, that amendment 247 be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Members: No.
There will be a division.
As this is the first division of today’s stage 3 proceedings, I suspend the meeting for around five minutes to allow members to access the digital voting system.
10:01
Meeting suspended.

On resuming—
We come to the division on amendment 247. Members should cast their votes now.

Amendment 248 disagreed to.
Section 22—Limitations on effect of Act
We move to group 17, which is on limitations on the effect of the act. Amendment 249, in the name of Stephen Kerr, is grouped with amendment 113. I call Stephen Kerr to move amendment 249 and to speak to both amendments in the group.
Group 17 takes us to the constitutional question that sits at the foundation of the bill, which is whether the provisions before us can operate within the powers that this Parliament possesses. Amendment 249 seeks to make that boundary clear. It would broaden section 22 so that it would apply to all reserved matters under the Scotland Act 1998, and not only to particular areas such as drugs, poisons or aspects of medical regulation. Its effect would be simple: if any provision of the act conflicts with a matter that remains reserved to the United Kingdom Parliament, that provision would have no legal effect in Scotland.
Amendment 249 is not an attempt to frustrate the bill—
Can Stephen Kerr elicit which parts of the bill, as amended to date, relate to reserved matters? My understanding is that those have all been removed from the bill. If he could point to some such parts of the bill, I would be grateful.
I accept what Jamie Greene is saying. I am speaking to amendment 249. Neil Gray’s amendment 113 is in a similar vein. Both amendments in this group say the same thing.
My amendment is not an attempt to frustrate the bill; it is an attempt to ensure that the bill that we pass is capable of operating within the constitutional limits—the competence—of this Parliament. Throughout the scrutiny of the bill, there has been considerable discussion about the issue of competence. Those concerns are not academic; they go directly to whether parts of the bill could operate lawfully once enacted. That relates to some of the decisions that the Parliament has made in the course of our consideration of the amendments to the bill at this stage in the process.
We have heard repeatedly that areas such as employment law, professional regulation and other UK-wide frameworks remain reserved matters. If provisions of the bill reach into those areas—as they did, before we began the amendment process—they cannot take effect simply because this Parliament wishes them to.
I have a very straightforward question. Does Stephen Kerr agree that the cabinet secretary’s amendment 113 would achieve what he is seeking to achieve in a much more straightforward manner?
I am sticking with my amendment. I thank Jamie Hepburn for the invitation to “do a Daniel Johnson”, as I think that we will now call it, but my amendment is equally clear. Neil Gray is conveying his opinion through his facial expressions; I am sure that we will hear from him shortly. I lodge my amendments on the basis of what I can see has been put on the daily list. On that basis, I was trying to be helpful.
I appreciate the importance of the issue that Stephen Kerr is raising about not having a bill that would in some way be ultra vires in its operation. However, aside from the point that Mr Hepburn made, does Stephen Kerr not feel that the Scotland Act 1998 would preclude most of the problems that he is anticipating?
I am sorry, but I do not quite follow what Dr Allan is saying, because that is why I lodged my amendment, and that is also why Neil Gray lodged his amendment 113. It would seem that there is some accord, at least between Neil Gray and I, in respect of the need for such an amendment. That is why I lodged my amendment; I did not have sight of the cabinet secretary’s amendment.
My amendment 249 seeks to provide the clarity that Dr Allan referred to. It would ensure that the limits of devolved competence remained explicit in the bill and that no provision could override the constitutional framework established by the Scotland Act 1998. I think that we all accept that and, for legislation that deals with matters of life and death, that clarity is not optional—it is essential. That is why I will stand by my amendment.
I move amendment 249.
10:15
The substantive difference between my amendment and Mr Kerr’s is that mine would remove section 22 and Mr Kerr’s would amend it. I will speak to my amendment before I speak more substantively to his.
My amendment would remove section 22, which is entitled “Limitations on effect of Act”, from the bill. The explanatory notes and policy memorandum that accompanied the bill on its introduction referred to the likely need for Scotland Act 1998 orders to achieve a comprehensive assisted dying scheme. In particular, reference was made to the J4 medicines reservation in the 1998 act. Given that a section 30 order has been agreed by the Parliament and made by the Privy Council, and that work is in progress on a section 104 order, it would seem that the section 22 provisions are no longer necessary.
I have no further comment to make on Mr Kerr’s amendment, other than to restate our view that section 22 of the bill should be removed via my amendment.
I thank Stephen Kerr and the cabinet secretary for setting out their positions.
Section 22 of the bill was included in the initial drafting to make it clear that any provisions touching on reserved matters would have no effect. I thank the cabinet secretary for the productive work that has been undertaken with the UK Government on advancing a section 30 order in record time and for the constructive engagement that has taken place on the use of section 104 orders to allow remaining matters of legislative competence to be dealt with.
I note at this stage the amendments in my name and in the name of Ross Greer, which I think will give further reassurance to the Parliament.
I therefore support the cabinet secretary’s amendment 113, on the removal of section 22, which is now redundant as a consequence of those positive steps, and I urge Parliament to do likewise. For that reason, I will not support Stephen Kerr’s amendment 249, which seeks to amend section 22.
I call Stephen Kerr to wind up and to press or withdraw amendment 249.
I have no further comments to add to the short exchange that we have had on the issue. I press my amendment.
The question is, that amendment 249 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

Amendment 255 disagreed to.
Section 22B
Group 18 is on the code of practice. Amendment 256, in the name of Douglas Ross, is grouped with amendments 257, 53, 258, 129 and 132.
I am pleased to speak to the amendments in my name, and I am grateful to Stephen Kerr for covering for me yesterday.
Amendment 256 seeks to preserve palliative and end-of-life care by ensuring that statutory and charitable funding that is intended for such care is not rerouted to fund assisted suicide instead. It would be so very wrong—to be frank, it would be indefensible—to divert money that is intended to improve lives to fund people taking their own. Incorporating an assisted dying service into the national health service will inevitably mean that such a service will compete with other services for funding.
I followed the whole of yesterday’s proceedings, and I recall my colleague Edward Mountain intervening on the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care to ask about the funding. He made reference to the letter that Neil Gray sent to the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee on 26 February. Some of the comments that the health secretary made in that letter bear repeating. He said that
“There remain many uncertainties as to the overall costs of the Bill”
and that
“the Scottish Government does not agree … that the Bill will have minimal cost implications.”
The money will have to come from somewhere, and we do not know how much will be needed or where it will come from. We cannot allow the palliative care service to be in any way affected by the bill.
I understand the argument that the cabinet secretary made in response to Edward Mountain yesterday about it not being a Government bill, meaning that the Government cannot cost it in the way that it normally would. However, the Government is clearly at odds with the member in charge of the bill and his financial memorandum—that was laid out very clearly in its letter to the lead committee.
It is absolutely crucial that we safeguard the money that is currently dedicated to palliative and end-of-life services. I am not certain that that would be done under the bill as drafted. The member in charge of the bill, Liam McArthur, claimed at stage 2 that
“no evidence has been seen of a deterioration in the delivery of palliative and hospice care”—[Official Report, 25 November 2025; c 35.]
in jurisdictions that have legalised assisted suicide. However, in jurisdictions that have gone down that route, when we look at what they promised and what has actually been delivered, the picture is very different.
When New South Wales legislated for assisted suicide, it committed to increasing palliative care spending by 743 million Australian dollars over a five-year period, but, only a year later, that spending was slashed by 249 million Australian dollars. Canada promised 6 billion Canadian dollars over 10 years for palliative and home care when medical assistance in dying was legalised. Five years in, less than 200 million Canadian dollars has gone to palliative care.

An analysis from Marie Curie that was published last month revealed the desperate state of palliative care in this country. I have the report in front of me, and we referenced it during day 1 of the stage 3 proceedings. When I spoke to my first amendment, there were questions from Emma Roddick, Ross Greer and the Deputy First Minister, who intervened on me. I said that we would come back to the point in group 18 because it has to be highlighted.
That new research is so stark that it cannot be ignored. Based on the methodology that was used, the report shows that, each year, one in three people who die in Scotland have unmet palliative care needs. That means that, every year, 18,500 Scots die without access to the compassionate and high-quality care that they deserve. None of us can think that that is acceptable, and we all have to agree that it is a national disgrace. That is why it is important to include amendment 256, should the bill be passed.
The other amendments in the group are self-explanatory. I will allow John Mason to speak to his amendment 257 and Jackie Baillie to the remainder of the amendments in the group. If need be, I will come back to them in summing up. It is important to raise the points that I have made in relation to amendment 256, and I hope that they will encourage members to support the amendment.
I move amendment 256.
I am happy to support Douglas Ross’s amendment 256.
Amendment 257 would introduce an institutional opt-out, which is an essential safeguard to ensure that no hospice, palliative care provider or other health or social care organisation is forced to participate in or facilitate assisted dying or assisted suicide, depending on which term members prefer. The amendment recognises that there are organisations for which providing assisted dying would violate their founding ethos and the religious or ethical values on which their care is based. My amendment would also ensure that hospices and care homes that choose not to participate would not suffer any detriment as a result, including regulatory sanction or loss of Government funding.
In jurisdictions that have legalised assisted dying, we have seen why that protection matters. In Switzerland, the Salvation Army was threatened with defunding for not allowing assisted dying on its premises. In Canada, the Irene Thomas hospice was forced to close after losing 1.5 million Canadian dollars in funding for refusing to offer assisted dying. Hospice UK has warned that palliative care doctors could be forced out of the hospice sector if they are unable to distance themselves from assisted dying that takes place in their workplaces. In fact, seven in 10 palliative care doctors say that they would consider resigning if their organisation were to offer assisted dying. We must protect the organisations that those doctors work for. Whatever we think about assisted dying, can we really risk forcing a significant number of our most skilled palliative care specialists out of the sector?
Most hospices are small and intimate settings. Requiring them to permit assisted dying on their premises not only would affect staff but could have a profound effect on patients, many of whom would not want to live in a place where assisted dying was being carried out yet could find themselves next to a room in which someone was taking lethal drugs. For vulnerable people, that could be a terrifying experience. I am not yet a vulnerable person, but I would not want to be forced to witness the person in the next room taking their own life.
It would be deeply alarming if we were asked to vote for a bill that was stripped of its conscience provisions and expected to put our full trust in Westminster to make that right.
Our hospice and care sectors are already facing major challenges in that they are short of funds, have recruitment challenges and are struggling to meet our country’s growing care needs. Without including an institutional opt-out, we risk forcing care homes and hospices to choose between their conscience and their continued existence, potentially decimating the whole sector.
Amendments 258, 129 and 132 form a small package of amendments that seek to strengthen section 22B. That section, which was introduced at stage 2, requires the creation of a code of practice for how assisted dying will interact with hospice and other palliative care services, and these technical amendments aim to ensure that the code of practice will have maximum effect in mitigating any potential negative impacts of assisted dying on existing providers of palliative and end-of-life care.
Amendment 258 would ensure that the code of practice was followed by all relevant public bodies, such as health boards, integration joint boards and Health Improvement Scotland. [Interruption.] I am sorry—I have just had a bit of a technical problem.
Amendment 129 would allow ministers to specify in regulations which public bodies must have due regard to the code of practice.
Amendment 132 would ensure that section 22B came into force after royal assent, to give effect to the aim, set out at the start of the section, that the code of practice should be prepared as soon as possible after the assessment report has been published.
Amendment 53 contains a technical correction of the cross-reference in section 22B(3).
As we all know, and as we have heard from previous speakers, hospice and palliative care services are already under significant and growing pressure. If assisted dying is legalised, we must protect those services and the essential palliative care that they provide to the thousands of people in Scotland who rely on them each year. This package of amendments would strengthen section 22B, and it would help to mitigate potential impacts and ensure that assisted dying was not introduced at the expense of existing vital hospice and palliative care services.
I will leave it there, Presiding Officer. I trust that colleagues will support amendments 258, 129, 132 and 53, in my name, on behalf of Hospice UK.
Amendment 256 would seem to interfere with integration joint boards’ responsibilities under the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 to plan and resource adult palliative care services for their area, including hospice services, on the basis of local need.
On amendment 257, there might be an inconsistency in the requirement to have procedures for patient access, given that amendment 231 seeks to provide that organisations must not be required to make referrals. As I said in relation to group 3, it is also not clear how an organisation would demonstrate conscientious objection, which is about personal beliefs.
With regard to amendment 53, we are happy to work with Jackie Baillie to make the technical correction that she has highlighted and amend an incorrect cross-reference in section 22B(3), so that the function of preparing the code of practice is correctly linked to subsection (1).
As for the remaining amendments in this group, the Scottish Government has no comment.
I do not support Douglas Ross’s amendment 256, which seeks to amend the provisions in section 22B on the differentiation of funding streams to require that statutory resources and charitable funding not be directed towards assisted dying. I believe that the bill as it stands covers the concerns that have been raised about the importance of properly funding both palliative care and assisted dying services. As such, the amendment is not needed.
I also observe that the amendment in Douglas Ross's name that we agreed to in the previous group—that is, amendment 252—would expand some of the reporting requirements.
I wonder whether the member sees the problems that many of us have with regard to money for palliative care being moved aside if this bill is passed. That is deeply difficult for many of us to understand. Not having proper palliative care would, I feel, be a form of coercion with regard to assisted dying.
I say to Mr Mountain that, as I have been clear throughout this process, it is not a question of either/or. We need to invest in good palliative care to improve access to it where it does not exist and to improve the palliative care itself where that might be needed. However, we also need the choice of assisted dying for those who are dying horrendous deaths, often beyond the reach of good palliative care.
As the Health and Social Care Committee of the House of Commons concluded after an extensive inquiry over 14 months, in those other jurisdictions that brought in assisted dying, there was not only additional investment in palliative care—of course, that is a decision for Parliaments, and each political party going into the election will have options regarding the prospectus that it puts before the electorate—but also improved engagement with palliative care services, which was driven by the fact that the conversations that are required through that process open up a better understanding of what the palliative care choices might be in relation to each individual case.
I appreciate the concerns of colleagues about this section. The bill says that the code of practice must make provision about
“how existing and future statutory funding streams intended to support the delivery of palliative and end of life care services can be differentiated to ensure assistance provided in accordance with this Act is not funded at the expense of existing palliative and end of life care services”
—I am sorry for speedreading that, Presiding Officer. The point that I want to make to Mr McArthur is that, although the money that flows through integration joint boards might be statutory funding, it is not ring fenced for palliative care. Decisions on prioritisation are made daily, weekly and monthly, so we need something in the bill that recognises that—I acknowledge that Jackie Baillie’s amendment might bring in as yet unknown provisions. Something has to give, because that is not how palliative care funding works.
That is a helpful intervention from Bob Doris. However, for the reasons that the cabinet secretary set out about the way in which amendment 256 interferes with the responsibilities of integration joint boards, I do not believe that it represents the correct approach. That is not to say that I do not accept that steps need to be taken, but other amendments in the group address the issue more effectively.
Does Liam McArthur agree that this parliamentary session has seen the biggest uplift for palliative care funding since the time of the Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill in 2015 and that your bill has put palliative care back on the agenda in a way that has not been the case in more than a decade?
Always speak through the chair.
I thank Ms Dunbar for that comment. It is absolutely irrefutable that the debate around the bill has opened up a conversation about palliative and other end-of-life choices that simply was not happening prior to this session. That is a good thing. Irrespective of whatever happens to the bill and of members’ positions on it, it is agreed across the chamber that it is a positive thing.
I want to come back to Liam McArthur’s opposition to my amendment 256. Does he accept the constructive criticism from the Government, in its letter to the lead committee, about the deficiencies in the financial memorandum? Although the Government accepts that it is a difficult thing to calculate, it is very clear that it disagrees with the member on the costings of the bill and the impact that it will have on current resources in the health budget. Is it not important for everyone—supporters and opponents of the bill—to have as many safeguards as possible around an area that, as we have heard from Jackie Dunbar, is as crucial as palliative care?
I agree with the substantive point that Mr Ross has made. We need as much clarity as we can. The bill, as amended, is not yet clear, so its financial implications will have to be determined once we see what the final bill looks like.
We are talking about patients who are already in our health and care system. The numbers are likely to be very limited in the early years—indeed, that is the trend that we see consistently across jurisdictions that have introduced a choice of this nature. As I said, it will be up to political parties going into the election whether they see it as a priority in which they wish to invest.
Jackie Dunbar has mentioned some of the uplift that we have seen in funding for palliative care. I accept that that has been for a particular purpose. However, as a result of the debate that we are having on the bill, we are having a debate about palliative and other end-of-life care options that was not happening prior to the introduction of the bill.
10:45
I do not support John Mason’s amendment 257, which relates to his earlier amendment on organisational opt-out, to which I am opposed, because it would interfere with matters that were previously debated relating to the on-going section 104 order process.
I support Jackie Baillie’s amendments 258 and 129, which would require public authorities to have due regard to the code of practice, and her amendment 132, which would provide for section 22B to be commenced the day after royal assent. I hope that that offers some reassurance to Bob Doris and others with similar concerns.
I worked with Jackie Baillie on amendment 53, which is a technical amendment, and I thank her for lodging it.
I call Douglas Ross to wind up the debate and to press or withdraw amendment 256.
This debate has been helpful. I will start with the areas of agreement. I absolutely agree with Liam McArthur that those in favour of the bill and those against it can unite on the need for improved palliative care. It is quite disappointing that it has taken such a bill to get that unanimity across the Parliament. Individuals such as my colleague Miles Briggs have worked on the issue for a long time, but we are still nowhere close to where we should be.
I accept Jackie Dunbar’s point that there has been an increase in funding, but I go back to the Marie Curie report that sets out that one in three Scots is dying without the level of care that they deserve at the end of their life—18,500 of our fellow Scots are not getting the care that they should get when they need it. Although the increase in funding is welcome, it is nowhere near enough, which is why I and members who support my amendment 256 are determined to protect such funding, should the bill be successful.
Bob Doris made the very good point that integration joint boards are not constrained in how they spend their money. We cannot protect such funding by ring fencing it. We must ensure that the bill, if it is passed, does not result in money that has been donated or otherwise provided for palliative care not being spent on palliative care.
I am glad that we have agreement on that point. I am conscious that Jackie Baillie’s amendments were sponsored by Hospice UK, which thinks that their provisions might square the circle, with public bodies having to take proper and due account of the code of practice. Given that there are some concerns about Mr Ross’s amendment 256, despite my sympathies for it, might Jackie Baillie’s amendments be an appropriate way to take the matter forward?
I will be supporting Jackie Baillie’s amendments, but I believe that my amendment 256 is a perfectly acceptable one. I listened to the cabinet secretary’s concerns relating to IJBs, but I do not share them. We have come to different conclusions on the issue. Members will have the chance to vote for my amendment or Jackie Baillie’s amendments—or, indeed, they could vote for both, and we can see how things end up in the bill.
We need to take a bit of time on this matter. We have had a long debate—we are now into the 21st hour of the debate on the stage 3 amendments. Palliative care and hospice care have been mentioned previously, and it is right for parliamentarians to ensure that, should the bill be passed, we have done everything that we can to protect this crucial area of funding.
On John Mason’s amendment 257, his contribution about conscientious objections reminded me of the point that Keith Brown made last night during the debate on Mr McMillan’s amendment. He said that a constituent had said to him that, if the bill were passed, she would give up her job as a GP, because, with reference to their Hippocratic oath, she does not want to be associated in any way with legislation that would allow people to take away someone’s life. We must do everything that we can to strengthen the opportunity for people to conscientiously object, particularly given that much of what was originally in the bill in that area has now been stripped out of it.
As we heard from Jackie Baillie, her amendments are largely technical and are presented on behalf of Hospice UK. I am very happy to support them.
I press amendment 256.
The question is, that amendment 256 be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Members: No.

Amendment 258 moved—[Jackie Baillie] and agreed to.
Section 23—Guidance
We come to group 19, on guidance. Amendment 259, in the name of Ross Greer, is grouped with amendments 54, 260, 261, 55, 262 to 264, 56 and 265 to 274.
I point out that, if amendment 56 is agreed to, I cannot call amendment 265, due to pre-emption.
I will begin with a brief announcement about information technology, because my laptop has just informed me that it is going to force a restart in two hours and 40 minutes, at which point we will be locked into what I am sure will be a long series of votes. If any other members are in a similar situation, we should probably do those restarts pre-emptively during our lunch break to avoid finding ourselves unable to vote.
I do not intend to speak to all the amendments in the group, as this is where members can help me to complete the jigsaw that we started yesterday in the group dealing with advocacy services. I proposed at that point that we move any detail about the services that advocates should provide out of the bill itself and into guidance, but that the bill should state what that guidance should include. That is a nuanced point, but it is important in ensuring flexibility. Members agreed to amendment 204 last night, which means that we have taken those details out of section 14A and now need to put them somewhere else—in section 23. For that reason, I ask members to support amendment 259.
My other amendment in the group covers a separate matter. Amendment 270 would require that anyone who is “involved in the process” of assisted dying, and not just the person carrying out the functions under the act, should have regard to the guidance.
It is probably best to use a couple of examples to show what I mean by that. We can think of the hospital orderly whose job it is to escort people between different departments of a hospital, or of the general practitioner’s receptionist, who might be the first person that a patient speaks to. People who are in that situation often have personal conversations with the patient. We know that that should not happen, but it sometimes does. People make comments, such as asking the patient how much pressure the situation is putting on their family. Those things should not happen, but we know that they do.
If the bill passes, it is particularly important for there to be relevant guidance for individuals performing those roles that are connected—but not core—to the function of the assisted dying system. Obviously, individuals in that situation would require guidance with a far lighter touch than that for medical practitioners, but, if we introduce the system, it will be useful to provide them with the steer that they will have a role to play in making sure that no patient feels any form of pressure or coercion.
I have a note from the Mental Welfare Commission, which found that strategies for monitoring and reviewing existing independent advocacy services are “variable”. The bill is quiet on how that system would be monitored and reviewed, so is the member confident that independent advocates would do their job and do what he intends with his amendments, without steering into pressuring patients or promoting assisted dying?
That intervention straddles a couple of points and it takes me on to what I was about to get on to. I do not want to pre-empt Liz Smith’s amendments 268 and 269, because I am undecided on how to vote on them, but I am particularly interested in them because of the accountability and the power that they would give Parliament in that regard. The guidance would be produced by the Government. Liz Smith proposes that it could be used only as a result of a resolution of the Parliament, which would give us a route for accountability. As part of the five-year review process, there would be an opportunity to do that.
Yesterday, we agreed to amendments that would change the way in which the advocacy service would be provided, to give the Government mechanisms to ensure that those providing the service provided it in line with what would essentially become their contractual obligations. There is a wider need for on-going review and scrutiny. I do not want to pre-empt what Liz Smith is going to talk about, primarily because I have not yet decided on how to vote, but I am particularly interested in what she is proposing, because I think that it would provide that accountability and scrutiny mechanism that gets at what Emma Roddick is suggesting.
Briefly, to reassure supporters of the bill, amendment 270 is not intended to provide anything that would be unworkable or particularly onerous. On that, I point to the fact that Dignity in Dying supports amendment 270. It is unusual for us to be in a position in which we could potentially have guidance that requires a resolution of Parliament, but this bill places us in a very unusual position because of the complicated issues of legislative competence. If it passes on Tuesday, key details of that would be filled in by the UK Government via section 30 and section 104 orders. It is unclear what, if any, role Parliament would have in that, other than the final veto that we could wield through the commencement regulations.
I have a couple of questions for Liz Smith, so I think that it would be best to ask them now, ahead of her speech, rather than to intervene later and break her flow. My questions are about how her proposed system would operate. Would the resolution be required just for the first edition of the guidance? Would it be required for any subsequent editions or even for any small revisions that were made in between those five-year periods? I want to make sure that it would be quite easy for us to keep the guidance up to date. I am inclined to support that if it would be required in the first instance and even through those five-year review periods, but if we needed to change a single line in the guidance document and it had to come back for a resolution of Parliament, I would be a bit worried about whether that was onerous. I would be grateful if Liz Smith could clarify how she believes that that system would operate. On that point, I will close and ask members to support amendments 259 and 270.
I move amendment 259.
Much of the debate over the past few days has revolved around the identification and consideration of indirect pressures, which may affect the decision-making ability of a person seeking assistance to end their life. Debate on the skill set that clinicians currently have and the challenges involved in identifying and taking account of such pressures have also been discussed. I thank Parliament for supporting my amendment 27 and consequential amendments 160 and 33, which will bring in the requirement to ask and discuss indirect pressures with the person applying for an assisted death.
Amendment 54 would require guidance to be produced on the identification and consideration of indirect pressures, which may affect the decision-making ability of a person seeking assistance to end their own life. That is important. Identifying indirect pressure can be complex and nuanced and, beyond that, judgments about whether such pressure is undue add a further level of complexity. Practitioners will want support and guidance on how to make those life-and-death assessments and judgments. Having guidance will also support a greater degree of consistency, while recognising that every individual and every set of circumstances will be different and unique.
11:00
Of course, existing guidance from professional bodies in the UK does not cover assisted dying scenarios but is more general in nature. If the bill becomes law, they are likely to update their guidance, and my amendment 33 would require practitioners to have regard to the guidance from those professional bodies. I tried to address that at stage 2, but I think that requiring practitioners to have regard to that guidance, which could be updated from time to time, is a much more effective way of doing it. When the professional bodies update the guidance, they will look at the act to understand the parameters that they are working within. That is why it is essential that indirect pressure is addressed in the bill, and not just coercion by a person.
The Scottish Government states that careful development of guidance would be required to avoid creating expectations that all forms of indirect pressure can be identified or mitigated in a uniform way. However, it is surely the case that all guidance must be carefully developed in all circumstances at all times. Also, I have no expectation that all forms of indirect pressure can be identified and mitigated. That is one of the issues that I have with the bill, but I am trying to build in safeguards where I can. If we pass assisted dying legislation, we must make every effort to ensure that it contains as robust a system of safeguards as possible, imperfect as that may be. Amendment 54 seeks to do that.
Amendment 55 would require the Scottish Government to produce guidance on how concerns about an assisted dying case may be raised and dealt with. It is inevitable that, at some stage, a family member or other person will want to raise a concern about some aspect of the process and practice that is set out in the bill. Currently, however, the bill makes no particular provision for such a scenario. Amendment 55 is deliberately drawn broadly. It does not seek to require a specific process, because it is unclear at this stage which organisations might be involved in delivering assisted dying. Organisations might have their own relevant policies and processes, which might or might not be relevant to my policy intention. The amendment is therefore deliberately not prescriptive. It simply seeks to give the Scottish Government latitude to bring in appropriate processes.
On amendment 262, I welcome Liam McArthur’s support for the eligibility requirement that the terminally ill adult must be reasonably expected to die within six months. However imperfect and challenging in practice that would turn out to be, it helps to make the eligibility requirements less open ended and vague. However, we have heard that clinicians agree that they cannot reliably predict with any substantial degree of accuracy whether someone will die within six months. Given those circumstances, it is reasonable for there to be guidance on how to interpret and apply in practice the eligibility requirement that the terminally ill adult must reasonably be expected to die within six months. The guidance that is provided for in amendment 262 would support a more consistent approach to identifying prognosis and it could be updated regularly to reflect changes and developments in treatments and the science of forecasting.
There is evidence of public confusion between assisted dying and some aspects of existing clinical practice in palliative care. I mentioned that yesterday. Amendment 267 seeks to ensure that any guidance that is produced in connection with the bill, should it become law, will not conflate assisted dying with palliative care. That is an important practical consideration. People who are referred to palliative care need to know that the practice of palliative care does not seek to hasten death and that the focus will be on supporting them to live as well and as comfortably as possible for the full course of their natural life. That is what palliative care seeks to do. Whatever views members of this Parliament hold—there are many nuanced views—we recognise that assisted dying is something very different, and my amendment 267 seeks to recognise that.
I thank Ross Greer for his advice. He managed to make me crash my computer, so I thank him for that as well. Luckily, however, IT staff are on hand.
I hope to use my amendments in the group to create a part of the bill that provides clarification, because members have had concerns throughout the debate about the advice on making someone comfortable and how that will sit in the bill.
Amendments 260 and 265 would require the Lord Advocate to be consulted on the development of statutory guidance on the provision of assistance under section 15. That would include what constitutes lawful assistance under section 15(4A) and distinguishes assistance from administration of the approved substance. I note that amendment 56 would pre-empt my amendment, but both amendments 56 and 265 seek to tidy up section 23(3A), which makes reference to a subsection that was not added to the bill at stage 2. I therefore urge colleagues to support my amendment 265 over section 56.
I lodged amendments 260 and 265 on behalf of the Royal College of Nursing Scotland to amend section 15. It is important that guidance is clear on exactly what is permitted and what is not permitted and, in particular, what constitutes assistance. That will require a level of clinical input, and it will also require legal input. We need to ensure that the practitioners who are involved in assisted dying are absolutely clear on what is legally permitted and what is not. That is why RCN Scotland is of the view that the Lord Advocate should have a role in developing and approving the statutory guidance governing the provisions around assistance.
Amendment 263 would require the statutory guidance that is produced by the Scottish ministers to include
“how the provision of assistance to terminally ill adults, in accordance with this Act should be arranged by health boards, including the development of patient pathways.”
Again, I lodged the amendment on behalf of RCN Scotland, which is concerned that, if the bill is passed, assisted dying will be part of the standard role for existing staff, such as district nurses, and existing teams will be expected to take on that role, which would not be safe or sustainable for the workforce or for those seeking to access assisted dying.
Amendments 261 and 264 would provide for people carrying out functions under the bill to receive mandatory training, accreditation and on-going three-year refresher and competence training.
The bill covers areas that are literally to do with life and death, and people who are empowered to carry out actions under the bill must be competent to do so. Competence is particularly important when it comes to issues such as identifying coercion. There has been much discussion about that, but it is only recently that the Parliament recognised coercive control as part of domestic abuse. Coercion could be used in encouraging a person towards assisted dying in a domestic abuse situation, but it could also be part of elder abuse. Knowledge and understanding of those issues are evolving and will change. It is therefore important that the knowledge and skills of practitioners are updated regularly.
Updating will also be required in relation to other issues, such as safeguarding people who may not have the mental capacity to make such a decision or who may be vulnerable in other ways, so that practitioners can best support their clients. They must also have knowledge of alternatives to assisted dying in order to be able to properly inform their clients. I am not suggesting that practitioners must know every alternative, but they must know referral pathways to be able to provide the client with the best possible information available. All of the above is subject to change, hence the need for practitioners to have their knowledge and skills updated at regular intervals.
I turn briefly to amendment 263, in the name of Miles Briggs. My concern is that the development of a patient pathway suggests that a patient would be placed on a pathway once they started to explore assisted dying. Given the enormity of the decision that they are making, alternatives should be fully explored at every stage of the process. I look forward to finding out whether that would happen, because people need to consider their actions as they go through the process.
I call Liam McArthur to speak to amendment 56 and other amendments in the group.
Amendment 56 is technical. It removes section 23(3)(A), which refers to a subsection in the bill that does not exist as a consequence of the relevant amendment not being agreed to at stage 2.
Miles Briggs’s amendment 265 also seeks to amend section 23(3)(A), to require guidance concerning the provision of assistance to be subject to the Lord Advocate’s approval. I know, as Mr Briggs confirmed, that he has been working closely with the RCN on the amendment. I am not minded to support it, as it seems an irregular approach to take to guidance. I note the Government’s view that it may interfere inappropriately with the Lord Advocate’s role. The cabinet secretary may comment on that in due course.
I worked with Ross Greer on his amendment 259, and I am happy to support it, as it sensibly seeks to ensure that guidance must include provision about advocacy services.
Bob Doris’s amendment 54 would require that information on identifying “indirect pressures” is included in guidance. Amendment 55 provides that the guidance should include information on
“raising and dealing with concerns in connection with the provision of assistance … both before and after death”.
On amendment 54, I note the Government’s comment that any guidance would require careful development to avoid creating the impression that all forms of indirect pressure can be identified or mitigated in any singular way. That said, I recognise the benefit of the inclusion of such information in guidance, and I am content to support amendments 54 and 55.
Mr Doris’s amendment 262 would add a requirement for guidance to be produced on the interpretation and application of the eligibility criteria in relation to the six-month prognosis. That is very reasonable, and I support amendment 262.
However, I am not convinced that Bob Doris’s amendment 267, which would require that guidance must not describe assisted dying as part of palliative or end-of-life care, is necessary. There is no doubt that the therapeutic conversations, clinical support and other referrals that would be provided as part of the assessment process would form part of the care that can be provided to a dying person who is approaching the end of their life. Terminally ill people have said, time and again, that they want an additional option as part of their end-of-life care, which is what the bill seeks to provide.
I will not seek to debate or labour the point, but I am clear that palliative care is not assisted dying. The amendment would clarify that. Lots of palliative care practitioners want that to be clarified. I ask Liam McArthur to reflect on that and support the amendment.
I take the point that Bob Doris is making and I have heard that concern expressed. However, I do not think that there is any way of getting around the fact that, were the bill to be passed, assisted dying would be a choice as part of end-of-life care. As I said, I see it as a positive development that there is interaction between palliative and hospice care, for example, in the discussions around assisted dying. That allows for better engagement with palliative care. As I have indicated, in jurisdictions that have introduced such laws, there is considerable evidence of that. I have always been clear that it is not a case of either/or when it comes to palliative care and assisted dying. Both will need to exist alongside each other, providing compassionate care and choice to terminally ill people at the end of life. Assisted dying is absolutely a form of end-of-life care, and in my view it would be inappropriate to seek to impose restrictions on ministers on how assisted dying may fit within end-of-life care services.
Miles Briggs’s amendment 260 would require guidance to distinguish between lawful assistance to administer the approved substance versus direct administration. I recognise the clarity that the amendment seeks to add for medical practitioners, and I am content to support it.
On Miles Briggs’s amendment 263, I am supportive of the principle of health board involvement in developing patient pathways that reflect international best practice in jurisdictions with assisted dying systems. I refer to some of the comments that I made in the debate on an earlier grouping in response to Fulton MacGregor’s amendments, which touched very much on that subject.
I turn to Rhoda Grant’s amendments. She made some important and relevant points in relation to the issue of our developing understanding of coercive and controlling behaviour. That touches on some of the issues that are reflected in the bill, but extends far more widely, as I know from my involvement in the passing of the relevant legislation in the previous session of Parliament, when I was a member of the Justice Committee. I cannot support amendments 261 and 264, as they relate to training provisions and touch on reserved matters, but training for practitioners will be a mandatory requirement under the bill and will require to be updated for many of the reasons that Rhoda Grant has highlighted.
On Stephen Kerr’s amendments 266 and 271 and Liz Smith’s amendment 268, I do not believe that it is necessary for guidance that is made under the legislation to be subject to the Parliament’s approval. Such a measure would be unnecessary and out of step with the way in which subordinate legislation is made and scrutinised. I also note the Scottish Government’s view that amendment 266 raises competence concerns.
In relation to Mr Kerr’s amendment 271, the approach currently in the bill, which requires practitioners to have regard to guidance, is sufficient and consistent with the approach taken across other legislation. However, although I consider the proposed change to compel practitioners to be unnecessary, I am content to accept it if the Parliament wishes to support it.
11:15
On Liz Smith’s amendments 269, 272 and 273, I note that the bill already provides for guidance to be revised when the Scottish ministers consider it appropriate to do so. I am therefore not persuaded of the need for the guidance review provisions in amendment 269. If the Parliament is minded otherwise, I encourage members to support amendment 269, which takes a more proportionate approach than that taken in amendment 272 and the consequential amendment 273, both of which I cannot support.
I support Ross Greer’s amendment 270, which would make it clear that anyone who is involved in the process in which a terminally ill adult requests and is provided with assistance to end their life must have regard to the relevant guidance.
Jackie Baillie’s amendment 274 would require the chief medical officer to produce guidance on the assessment of patients who are under 25 or who have fluctuating diagnoses. As I have referred to in debates on earlier groupings, I fully recognise the value of ensuring that additional and specialist consideration is provided in those instances. Although I am mindful that the Scottish Government has noted the possibility of a CMO opting not to participate in assisted dying, I am content to support amendment 274 if colleagues believe that it is workable and useful.
I am grateful to have heard the response of Liam McArthur to my amendments 266 and 271. I will explain further why they are essential. The amendments go to the heart of an important question: who ultimately controls the safeguards that would govern how the law operates in practice? My answer to that question will come as no surprise to those who have had to listen to me over the past four or five years: it is Parliament.
Amendment 266 would require that any ministerial guidance relating to the safeguards in the act must return to the Parliament for scrutiny and approval. Amendment 271 would ensure that the guidance issued under the act had clear legal force—again, through the Parliament. Taken together, the amendments are about accountability.
To answer directly the point that Liam McArthur made about process, I do not see the bill as a particularly ordinary one. It is an extraordinary bill and an extraordinary departure from our current practice and our current societal norms. Hence, I believe that enhanced parliamentary scrutiny is essential.
Much of the detail on how the legislation will work from day to day will not be found in the bill. That has been accepted by the member in charge, and it raises issues of costs and budgets. How the legislation will work will depend on the guidance that is produced after the bill has been passed. That guidance will shape how safeguards are applied, how professionals are trained and how the system operates in practice. If that guidance can be changed without proper parliamentary scrutiny, the reality of the law could shift over time without the Parliament ever having the opportunity to examine those changes. That should concern us all.
Experience elsewhere shows how laws of this nature can evolve once they are in operation. Canada is often cited as an example. The legislation there began with what many believed were strict limits, yet, within a relatively short period, the scope of the practice expanded far beyond what many legislators originally understood that they were voting for.
Does Mr Kerr agree that we can already see that in our own jurisdiction? For example, last month, Jersey changed the law to allow assisted suicide and, this week, it is already starting to debate whether the law needs to be changed and made easier.
Yes—that is a good example. I accept that members will have different views about how the law might develop, and that example is a template.
I would caution against using the example of Canada to reflect what happens in other jurisdictions with terminal illness mental capacity models. There are no examples of a terminal illness mental capacity model that has expanded the eligibility criteria.
Mr Kerr referred to the example of Canada, where a case asserting that the ban on assisted dying was unconstitutional was brought to the Supreme Court. The fact that the Parliament did not reflect the judgment of the court led to a further appeal that was successfully upheld, and the Parliament was required to expand the provisions in its legislation. Therefore, conflating the situation in Canada with what we are dealing with in the bill is slightly disingenuous, and I say that with the utmost respect to Mr Kerr.
I am grateful to Liam McArthur for his intervention, and I would simply counter it by saying that, when international comparisons have been cited in relation to other aspects of the bill, there have been clear differences in how members interpret the evidence. I understand why members who are in favour of the bill might want to set Canada aside, but I do not think that we should set aside any jurisdiction where such a law has been enacted or its experience of such a law in practice. The example of Jersey is germane to that point.
I accept that members will hold different views on any subsequent development of the law, but I suspect that most colleagues will agree on one point, which is that such changes should not happen without full parliamentary scrutiny and democratic accountability. Safeguards should never be quietly diluted through guidance issued behind closed doors—I hope that we would all agree with that. If this Parliament creates such a law, it must never lose control of how that law evolves.
That is the purpose of my amendments. They ensure that, if guidance relating to safeguards is to be issued or changed, it must come back here for consideration and approval by the elected representatives of the people of Scotland.
I am inclined to agree with Mr Kerr on the importance of parliamentary accountability and scrutiny—I am just not clear on what the mechanism for those would be. Amendment 266 does not state what the mechanism for parliamentary approval would be. I apologise if I have missed this in another amendment, but is he envisaging something similar to what Liz Smith is proposing—that is, a resolution of Parliament—or some other mechanism?
I think that the ideas are similar in that respect, but the fundamental point is that Parliament must express its approval. The issue that I hope that Ross Greer and I agree on is the importance of democratic scrutiny and control.
The example of other jurisdictions has been cited. If we are going to expand the law over time, in the eventuality that that is presented as a proposal, that proposal must be accompanied by the highest level of legislative scrutiny. Frankly, that is how profound the issue is, and that is the level of scrutiny that such a matter deserves.
The Parliament should not place itself in the position of not retaining control over such matters, so amendments 266 and 271 seek to ensure that parliamentary oversight remains central to how the law operates, and I hope that colleagues will be sympathetic to that view. The amendments would ensure that safeguards could not be altered unless they had returned to the chamber.
Again, I hope that colleagues understand my motivation in lodging these amendments and that it is appreciated more widely how important democratic scrutiny and control are. When it comes to legislating on matters of life and death, I do not think that that level of accountability could be described as excessive. Indeed, it is not excessive—it is the least that the Parliament should require.
I call Liz Smith to speak to amendments 268 and other amendments in the group.
My four amendments in the group—amendments 268, 269, 272 and 273—seek to build on the amendments that Mr Kerr has lodged, and all share the common purpose of seeking to ensure that the Parliament retains proper and democratic oversight of how guidance under the act operates in practice. I believe that that is a view shared by members across the chamber.
As the debate over the past four days has shown, colleagues appreciate that the bill places significant responsibility in the hands of the Scottish ministers. The guidance issued under the act will shape how the service functions across Scotland, influencing the decisions that are taken by medical practitioners, health boards and other public bodies. For that reason alone, it is not sufficient for such guidance simply to be issued and then left untouched—Parliament has an important role in scrutinising it. I will come to Mr Greer’s point in that respect in a minute.
Amendment 268 provides that, when guidance that is issued under section 5 has to be reviewed or revised, those changes would have be brought back to Parliament for approval by resolution. I say to Mr Gray that that applies in the first instance, but other amendments make such approval possible at a later stage should the Parliament determine that such changes have to be made.
Amendment 272 would ensure that such guidance was not left to drift indefinitely. It would require the guidance to be formally reviewed after an initial period of three years and then at least every five years thereafter. I understand Mr McArthur’s point that it is unusual for such guidance to require that level of parliamentary oversight, but assisted dying is such an important issue that it is not just sensible but essential to have such a provision in the bill.
Would Liz Smith be surprised if the guidance had not developed over that period, and would it concern her if it had not?
I think that that is highly possible. Obviously, some of the guidance would be a matter for the medical practitioners, who would have an influence over whichever Government ministers were responsible for reviewing it. However, we must have a parliamentary process that scrutinises any changes that we make because Parliament is the sovereign body and, as Mr Kerr rightly set out in relation to his amendment 266, that is critical to the oversight of any legislation that we might pass.
Amendment 269 goes a little bit further by placing
“at least once every five years”
a duty on the Parliament to
“review the operation and effectiveness”
of the guidance. That review would allow Parliament to assess whether the safeguards in the bill were working as intended and, if necessary, recommend that ministers revise the guidance if the safeguards were not being adequately upheld.
I am eternally sympathetic to the notion that the Parliament should have as much say as possible in major change. We have amended other bills in a similar fashion. However, there is a technical niggle at the back of my mind: we do not know the make-up of the next Parliament or its future views on any legislation that might be passed in this session. My worry is this: could the resolution that Ms Smith’s amendments would require for any changes in guidance to be approved be used as a way to block the act in its entirety? Alternatively, is it her view that, if a future Parliament refused to approve changes to the guidance, it would revert back to whatever the existing guidance was, and the act would still be law? Could future Parliaments use the provisions as a blocking mechanism?
Mr Greene makes an interesting point. I do not think that the act would be blocked because of the review having to be undertaken in successive periods. My amendments seek to ensure that, should the guidance change, there is proper parliamentary scrutiny of that. As I said when I dealt with Mr McArthur’s point, that is an unusual approach but, because the bill is so critical—let us be honest: this is the most important debate that we have had in the Parliament—we have to ensure that the safeguards are in place.
Amendment 273 is a consequential amendment that would ensure that the provisions that relate to the review mechanisms fit coherently with the rest of section 23.
Taken together, amendments 268, 269, 272 and 273 recognise that, if Parliament legislates on assisted dying, our responsibility does not end on the day that the bill is passed. We absolutely must continue to monitor how the system operates in practice, how many people are accessing the service, their reasons for doing so and the wider impacts on families, healthcare professionals, our NHS and local authorities. That regular scrutiny and review would help to ensure that the safeguards that Parliament intends are not weakened over time.
I urge colleagues to support my amendments.

In the interests of time, I will limit my comments to amendment 274, which I lodged on behalf of Children’s Hospices Across Scotland. I have previously covered the arguments about the unique challenges faced by young adults up to the age of 25 years old who have a diagnosis of a life-shortening condition. Those include fluctuating and unpredictable conditions; reduced cognitive maturity and greater risk of coercion; communication differences; and heightened safeguarding needs. In that context, I believe that there is a clear need for national clinical guidance to ensure consistency in the most complex cases.
Amendment 274 would do just that by requiring the chief medical officer to publish guidance explaining how assessments should be carried out for young adults under 25 who we know have fluctuating conditions. We would also expect the CMO to update the guidance so that medical practitioners can provide consistent and safe assessment in the most complex of cases.
I call Daniel Johnson, who joins us remotely.
I will speak briefly in support of Liz Smith’s amendments in the group. At stage 2, I proposed amendments that would have created a commission—a cross-party body—to oversee the guidance. My reason for doing that is that I believe strongly that much of what we are talking about, including the fundamental issues, will boil down to matters of practice, professional procedure and the culture that will develop surrounding the legislation. Therefore, it is absolutely vital that the guidance that is developed is not treated like guidance in other areas on which we legislate. It should continue to have on-going parliamentary oversight so that Parliament can continue to monitor it and input into its development. Liz Smith’s proposals are very sensible; indeed, I would say that they are the bare minimum that we require for Parliament to maintain oversight over what will be incredibly sensitive guidance.
Jamie Greene made the relevant point that we cannot bind our successors, and we do not know what they will do. However, equally, no legislation is immutable. There is no telling what future Parliaments might do to the legislation. All that they need to do to undo any of the elements that we have considered is to find a simple majority. Notwithstanding that, we have to legislate in good faith and assume that our successors will make the right judgments, just as we are attempting to make the right judgments today.
I urge members to support Liz Smith’s sensible and necessary amendments.
Amendment 54 would add to the detail in section 23 to require the guidance to cover
“identification and consideration of indirect pressures”.
As I noted in my comments on group 4, professional guidance already supports clinicians to assess capacity and voluntariness. Embedding requirements in statute could increase the complexity and length of assessments, with potential implications for training, consistency of practice and practitioner confidence. It would also require any guidance to be carefully developed to avoid creating expectations that all forms of indirect pressure can be identified or mitigated in a uniform way.
Amendment 56 is a necessary technical amendment to remove section 23(3A), given that it refers to a subsection that does not exist.
On amendment 259, as I have noted before, there remains a lack of clarity around how any advocacy services would be funded or monitored in practice.
The Scottish Government’s view on amendments 261 and 264, which would add provision on mandatory training and related matters into guidance, is that those may give rise to issues of legislative competence, in view of the G2 reservation in the Scotland Act 1998, which is on regulation of health professions.
Amendment 263 would add to section 23 provision on guidance in relation to how assistance under the act is to be arranged by health boards. However, health boards have no existing functions in relation to provision of assisted dying services.
On amendment 265, the Scottish Government notes that it is unusual to specify in primary legislation a role for the Lord Advocate in the preparation of guidance. The Scottish Government’s view is that amendment 266 might give rise to issues of legislative competence, in view of the G2 reservation, on regulation of the health professions, insofar as it touches on training provisions.
On amendments 266, 268 and 269, I note that it is unusual for guidance to be laid before the Scottish Parliament.
On amendment 274, I reiterate the comments that the Scottish Government raised at stage 2—namely, that it is possible that a chief medical officer could conscientiously object to providing guidance on the act. As such, it seems preferable for guidance on the issue to be prepared by the Scottish ministers rather than the chief medical officer.
There might also be equalities considerations if specific guidance were put in place for those aged under 25, so having such guidance would need to be justifiable.
I will give way to Pam Duncan-Glancy briefly, before I read out my last sentence.
I thank the cabinet secretary for taking the intervention, and for his patience for such an untimely interruption.
The cabinet secretary said that it was unusual for guidance to be laid before Parliament. He also mentioned some of the conscientious objections related to the chief medical officer, which I understand. Would the cabinet secretary not say that, if the guidance was going to fall to the Scottish ministers, it would be relevant for the guidance to come before Parliament?
I make no further comment on whether it should come before Parliament. That is for members to decide. I merely stress that the Government’s position is that it is unusual for guidance to come before Parliament. Normally, it is the responsibility of ministers to come forward with such things.
On amendment 265, I acknowledge that the Scottish Government has pointed out that it is unusual for the Lord Advocate to have a role in developing statutory guidance, but I suggest that the issue merits such an approach. It is important to get the legal input of the head of the prosecution service on guidance into the bill ahead of its implementation. Has there been any conversation with the Lord Advocate about what is currently in the bill? Throughout the passage of the bill and the debate, I have returned to the need for medical staff who will potentially opt in to providing such services to have absolute confidence in the approach, which would be in guidance, rather than in the bill.
Mr Briggs tempts me to breach the ministerial code on discussions that might be had with law officers. When guidance is produced by Government, clearly, the Government must always act within the law. I will rest at that point.
For the remaining amendments in the group, the Scottish Government has no further comment.
I am grateful to colleagues who have indicated support for amendments 259 and 270. In this group, there has been broad agreement about the need for on-going parliamentary oversight and accountability.
Will the member take an intervention?
I will speak directly to Stephen Kerr’s amendments 266 and then I will happily take his intervention.
I hope that there is a majority for on-going Parliamentary oversight of the guidance. I suggest that we can do that through Liz Smith’s amendments, which would possibly work alongside Stephen Kerr’s amendment 271.
My concern with amendment 266 is that paragraph (c) relates to matters which—we have broad agreement—take us beyond devolved competencies. I am concerned that if we pass amendment 266, it would undermine a lot of what we have achieved to ensure that the bill stays legislatively competent and that we can have a straight vote on Tuesday.
I appreciate the comments that Ross Greer made. I am not sure that amendment 266 does stray into questions of competence, but that I respect that that is his point of view.
My question is about amendment 259. I should have risen to speak when he first spoke to amendment 259—I appreciate that. However, given that in 2022 the Scottish mental health law review found that only 5 per cent of people who had a right in Scots law to independent advocacy actually got that advocacy—because they could not access it—how confident can Ross Greer be that there will be an underpinning guarantee to the delivery of advocacy in situations such as the ones that we are considering in the bill?
Mr Kerr makes an important point that was touched on yesterday in an exchange between Pam Duncan-Glancy and me, and he does so by posing a question about my confidence in the measure. If I have the privilege of being elected to the next session of Parliament, I certainly would not vote for the bill’s commencement regulations if I was not confident that all the other arrangements and safeguards that we have included, particularly the advocacy services, were in place, and in such a way as to be available to anyone who needs them.
That takes me to Jamie Greene’s fair point about something that Daniel Johnson also touched on, which is that, fundamentally, no Parliament can bind its successors. In response to those concerns, I point to the fact that the commencement regulations for the bill, if it is passed, will have to be approved by the next session of Parliament anyway. None of us can say what the balance of opinion in that Parliament will be, but, given that the commencement regulations are already in the bill and that the next Parliament will have to decide on them regardless, I am entirely comfortable with adding further to the duties that the next Parliament will have in scrutinising how the system would operate.
I will take one more intervention from Mr Kerr before I round off.
I hear what Mr Greer says in response to my intervention and respect his integrity and his intentions to act in a certain way. However, the problem is that although he can give that guarantee for himself and I can give it for myself, we need something far firmer than that if we are going to talk about offering advocacy to people who are entitled to it. Given the current situation, and the report that I quoted, I have grave doubts about that happening. Does he share that doubt and concern and does he understand my point about the lack of any solid foundation for the advocacy that I think we both agree must be in place?
As I have said throughout our proceedings, I still have a degree of doubt about the bill full stop and I have not yet decided how I will vote on Tuesday.
On Mr Kerr’s specific point, and although it is not a foolproof solution, I point again to what is already in subsection (2) of section 14A which states that
“It is the duty of the Scottish Ministers to ensure that independent advocacy services are available”
to every individual who wishes to have them. I recognise that there are plenty of parts of Scots law that oblige the Scottish ministers to provide the public with various rights and services that we know are lacking. However, to go back to what I said earlier, it will be the responsibility of the next Parliament to make a decision about that and, as someone who believes in the rights of Parliament, I must place my trust in the next session because they are the people who will be elected by the public of this country to make those decisions. If I am one of those people, I will carefully consider those very issues before I make my decision on the commencement regulations.
Having said that, I press amendment 259.
Amendment 259 agreed to.

Amendment 274 agreed to.
I suspend business for a 45-minute break and ask members to return just after 12:50, when we will begin to debate group 20.
12:07
Meeting suspended.
12:50
On resuming—
Section 23A—Duty to provide information
Group 20 is on collection of data, provision of information and reporting. Amendment 275, in the name of Audrey Nicoll, is grouped with amendments 276 to 279, 57, 280, 58 to 61, 115, 62, 281 to 283, 63, 284 to 287, 64, 288 to 291, 116, 294 to 296, and 310.
This group of amendments largely seeks to strengthen recording and reporting provisions in sections 23A, 24 and 26 of the bill. Safeguarding is at the heart of the amendments. I will begin with my amendments, before speaking to other amendments in the group.
My amendments 275, 276, and 277 relate to duties on Scottish ministers to provide accessible information about assisted dying in the event that it becomes legalised. Amendment 275 specifies the content of the information that Scottish ministers must provide in the important section 23A of the bill. It seeks to ensure that all information is comprehensive, accurate and balanced and that it must include guidance on independent advice, safeguards against coercion or abuse, available alternatives such as palliative care, and resources for suicide prevention and immediate support.
Building on the concerns that were raised by my colleague Emma Roddick in discussion of group 2, bolstering suicide prevention in the context of assisted dying is highly relevant for vulnerable individuals such as people with disabilities, who are more vulnerable to suicide ideation due to their disability. I draw members’ attention to the legal opinion by leading lawyer Tom Cross KC, who found the bill to fall short of safeguarding those individuals. Amendment 275 seeks to clarify what accessible information must be provided by Scottish ministers, and it would require information to be set out on suicide prevention, including how to access immediate support. That will be essential for vulnerable people such as those with depression, who may be eligible under the bill if they fit the eligibility criteria. Along with amendments 276 and 277, the amendment promotes informed decision making and seeks to ensure that lawful assistance to end-of-life services is accompanied by clear guidance on support and protection, as well as going some way to offering a level of protection to vulnerable individuals.
Amendment 276 would require that all information provided under section 23A is comprehensive and that it explicitly covers the legal, medical, social and ethical aspects of assisted dying. It would ensure that terminally ill adults, health professionals and the public receive full and balanced guidance, preventing selective or partial information and supporting informed decision making. Again, accessible and balanced information is important for vulnerable individuals, particularly those with learning disabilities, given the general misunderstanding among the public about what assisted dying means. Polling by Whitestone Insight shows that around one in three people who support assisted dying believe that it would mean hospice or palliative care, or the right to stop life-prolonging treatment. Clear, direct, balanced and non-euphemistic language is essential for any Government guidance.
Amendment 277 would require Scottish ministers to monitor and report on compliance, and it would ensure that information is regularly reviewed, updated and publicly reported. It would establish procedures to correct deficiencies, which would prevent the provision of incomplete or biased information and guarantee that all recipients, including terminally ill adults, professionals and the public have access to accurate and comprehensive guidance. Therefore, it is a simple improvement that would give section 23A of the bill greater effect and I commend it to members.
Although section 23A is an important provision in principle, as it stands, it is too weak and poorly defined to be of greatest effect as a safeguard. Therefore, I trust that members will feel able to support amendments 275 to 277.
Stuart McMillan’s amendment 279 would strengthen the reporting requirement that is placed on Public Health Scotland by removing the reference to information being provided only
“in so far as known to Public Health Scotland”.
I strongly support that amendment.
Amendments 280, 59 to 61, 115, 62, 281 to 283 and 63 would all extend reporting by Public Health Scotland on matters including the assessment process, first declarations, the provision of social care, side effects and adverse reactions, clinical recommendations to ministers and the operation of the period of reflection.
Emma Roddick’s amendments 284 and 287 would require reports to include detailed information about safeguarding concerns, including the outcomes of any safeguarding investigations. Amendment 287 would require reporting to go beyond just raw numbers and include a full analysis and comparison of data—for example, trends over time, risks to patient safety and whether the provision of assisted dying is creating or worsening inequalities for particular groups, such as older or disabled people.
Bob Doris’s amendment 64 would insert additional characteristics, such as deprivation and housing status. Murdo Fraser’s amendment 295 would insert a requirement to report on the impact of assisted dying provision on suicide prevention services, while Stephen Kerr’s amendment 296 would insert a similar provision that relates to the impact of assisted dying provision on palliative care services.
The only amendment on which I seek some clarity is Liam McArthur’s amendment 57, which relates to reporting on assessments broken down by eligibility or otherwise. It seems straightforward, but I am keen to hear the context and rationale for that amendment from Liam McArthur.
All the amendments in the group are about safeguarding. They would enhance reporting, which would allow for effective scrutiny and monitoring of the bill’s operation.
I move amendment 275.
My amendments in this final group relate to the review of the operation of the bill, which will be essential if the bill is passed. It will be possible to review the bill’s operation effectively and meaningfully only if adequate data is gathered while it is in operation. Therefore, amendment 278 and related amendment 285 require periodic detailed reviews of a representative sample of cases, so that qualitative evidence is available on the bill’s operation if it becomes law. That is aided by the Parliament having agreed to my amendments on the medical practitioner’s report requirements earlier in our deliberations.
After stage 2, the bill required only basic statistics to be gathered. Those statistics are important but mainly quantitative and, on their own, cannot shed light on some aspects of the bill. For example, what is the experience of registered medical practitioners in assessing people for capacity and coercion? What works well and what have they found difficult? What is the experience of family members who are involved in the process? Were there difficulties that could have been avoided? How adequate did they find the public information that is provided for in the bill?
The Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care has told me that a case review process in Ontario, Canada, proved to be vital in identifying deficiencies in assessments and the safeguarding of vulnerable people, so why not have such a process in the bill?
Having intervened on my friend Stuart McMillan yesterday, I will intervene on my friend Bob Doris today.
If we had been talking about a mechanism that resulted in many hundreds of cases, I could see some sense in the proposed provision. However, I am slightly concerned about it—and the Government’s commentary makes the same point—because we are likely to be talking about a very small number of cases. What does Bob Doris say about the concern that we could veer into making it very clear who the individuals were, which would open up issues around privacy and so on?

I thank Jamie Hepburn for his intervention. He should not worry about intervening on me—it is not a problem.
My first point in response to that is that the Government and public bodies have great experience in publishing only data that is statistically and appropriately anonymised. If a body cannot do that, it cannot publish it. There are clear rules on that.
I have not set out how often periodic case reviews should be; I have left that as a matter of generality. I hope that they would form the annual reports as well as the overall review of the eventual act. Clearly, however, we do not know how many people will avail themselves of assisted dying. That is the point that I would emphasise to Mr Hepburn. It might be a very small number, but it might not be. Why not bolt the provision in place and do the periodic case review to get a qualitative assessment of how the bill is working in practice? That is how I would respond to Mr Hepburn’s point—and it was a reasonable point to make.
My other amendments in the group identify important data items without which it would not be possible to monitor and understand the eventual operation of the act adequately. I will run through the amendments as quickly as I can.
Amendment 59 would ensure the collection of data on how many times the original medical practitioners conducting assessments took the steps provided for in section 7. For instance, were inquiries carried out with health and social care professionals?
Amendment 60 would ensure that we captured how many times medical practitioner reports had been completed and the reasons for approving or not approving an assisted death.
Amendments 61 and 286 would ensure the collection of the number of applicants who were assessed as having or not having appropriate social care and palliative care, respectively.
Amendment 62 would ensure the collection of the number of complications, adverse reactions and unintended effects reported under section 15, on the provision of assistance.
Amendment 63 would ensure that data was collected on relevant professionals who had completed training requirements.
Amendment 281 would require the number of assisted deaths involving each practitioner to be gathered, enabling the flagging of practitioners with unusually high rates. That might not happen, but it would be reasonable to gather that data anyway.
Amendment 282 would require the gathering of data on the number of times that the period of reflection was less than 14 days.
I am keen for all those amendments on data-gathering requirements, with reporting to the Scottish ministers, to be agreed to.
In concluding, I will briefly mention my amendment 64, which Audrey Nicoll also mentioned. The details are important for a full analysis of the impact of the eventual act across our society, although I acknowledge the challenges of collecting such data. Amendment 64 would require the capture of data on whether a person who received assisted dying lived alone. We can imagine why one would want to know that. It would also require the capture of data on receipt of benefits—and we can imagine why one would want to know that. Furthermore, it would require the capture of data on the level of household deprivation and the person’s housing status. We would reasonably want to know whether there were patterns to all those things. I acknowledge that the data might be difficult to collect, but I have lodged the amendment nevertheless, as it would be worth while to understand any patterns among people who wished to seek and receive assisted death.
Amendments 279 and 290 would strengthen the reporting duties in section 24 by removing the vague qualifier
“in so far as known to Public Health Scotland”
and replacing it with a clear obligation on Public Health Scotland to
“take all reasonable steps to obtain, verify and … assess the completeness”
of the required information. That would ensure that gaps in data were transparently identified and explained, rather than obscured by uncertainty, which would improve the reliability, accountability and credibility of reporting, enabling effective oversight and helping Parliament and the public to identify risks, trends or deficiencies in the operation of the act at an early stage.
Amendment 289 would require reports on assisted dying to be published and scrutinised by the Scottish Parliament. Transparency and parliamentary oversight are essential to ensuring that the operation of the eventual act remains within its intended scope, as has already been touched on today and previously.
The evidence from overseas jurisdictions shows that assisted dying regimes can broaden, over time, in terms of eligibility, practice or application. Therefore, the regulation, publication and scrutiny of reports will help Parliament, stakeholders and the public to identify emerging trends or risks at an early stage and take corrective action when necessary, thereby safeguarding against unintended expansion and maintaining public confidence in the law.
I call Liam McArthur to speak to amendment 57 and other amendments in the group.
I thank the members who have spoken so far for setting out the rationale for their amendments. My amendments in the group, amendments 57 and 58, are technical and would ensure that Public Health Scotland reports on the number of assessments that conclude that a person is eligible and the number that conclude that a person is not. In response to Audrey Nicoll’s query, under the bill as it stands, the number of statements would be captured but not the number of people deemed eligible and not eligible. I think that the amendments represent a valuable strengthening of the provisions.
I do not support Bob Doris’s amendments 59, 60 or 64, as I think that reporting requirements should remain targeted, purposeful and proportionate. I understand the rationale that he has set out, but, in particular, amendment 64 would require the collection of information on a person’s household status, receipt of welfare benefits, level of deprivation and housing status, which would create intrusive monitoring that is not clearly related to the bill’s core safeguards. The reporting framework in the bill is designed to report on data that is collected by clinicians. The collection of the kind of information that would be required by amendment 64 falls outside the clinical role of doctors.
I want to briefly make the point to Parliament and to Mr McArthur that I deliberately separated the issues in amendment 64 from those in my other amendments on data collection. I recognise the issues with the amendment, and I am minded not to move it. I say that just to inform members who might be considering other amendments that that amendment is unlikely to be moved.
That is helpful.
Listening to Mr Doris speak to his amendments, it struck me that we have to be careful here. The collection of data in relation to the legislation should not be restricted, because we need the ability to interrogate it. If some of the data does not reach the threshold that is required in order for it to be properly interrogated, so be it. However, we should not restrict the collection of data, because I think that what we learn from it could be incredibly important as we move forward.
Brian Whittle makes an important point. I think that the point that Bob Doris made in his intervention was that we would all understand the rationale for why we would want to understand such things. However, what we are trying to do here is put in place a bill that has deliverable provisions, and I think that, for example, the concept of the level of household deprivation lacks a clear definition, and it is not appropriate for clinicians to make judgments on that.
In an intervention on Bob Doris, Jamie Hepburn talked about potential privacy issues, given the numbers that would be involved. I listened carefully to Bob Doris’s response to that, and I took some reassurance from it. However, requiring terminally ill people to disclose financial details might feel intrusive and could risk undermining their relationship with their doctor.
I wonder whether Public Health Scotland would be able to use the data that we already have access to with regard to people who are ranked 1 on the Scottish index of multiple deprivation and so on as some type of indicator that could address the issues that Bob Doris raises.
That is a very reasonable point to make. I understand that there is a bill before us at the moment, and members will see that as the way in which they can address the concerns that they have. However, it may very well be that there are other ways in which those concerns can be addressed and the relevant information can be gathered, without putting further requirements in the bill.
Although I am not opposed, in principle, to the requirement under amendment 63 for Public Health Scotland to collect data on the number of practitioners undertaking training, I note the Government’s view that the amendment raises potential competence concerns and, therefore, I would not support it.
In better news for Mr Doris, I am inclined to support his amendments 61 and 62. Amendment 61 would reinforce the safeguard in the bill that ensures that patients have been offered or provided with appropriate social care by reflecting that in reporting. Amendment 62 may strengthen safety monitoring, as it will ensure that Public Health Scotland publishes the total number of complications, adverse reactions and unintended effects. That would fit well with the safety monitoring framework under the bill as it stands.
I heard what Mr McArthur said about Mr Doris’s amendment 61, and I was going to cover the issue in my remarks. Because amendments 23 and 22, which cover the issue, have been agreed to, is he concerned that there may be inconsistency in the bill if amendment 61 is also agreed to?
That is a helpful clarification from the cabinet secretary. He may want to develop that argument in his remarks later on. I will certainly reflect on that, as I am sure colleagues across the chamber will.
I turn to Audrey Nicoll’s amendments 275, 276 and 277, which all seek to amend section 23A, on the provision of information about assisted dying. The amendments seek to ensure that any information that is provided is balanced, comprehensive and accurate, which I consider would already be a requirement of the duty on the Scottish ministers.
Amendment 275 would also require that public communication features suicide prevention information. Without rehearsing the arguments that I made in the earlier group, international experts on suicide prevention, as I said then, have been explicit about the harm that conflating suicide prevention and assisted dying presents, so I do not support Ms Nicoll’s amendments in that area.
On Stuart McMillan’s amendment 279, I do not see a benefit in asking Public Health Scotland to report on matters that are not known to it. As it stands, the inclusion of the words
“in so far as known”
allows, for example, Public Health Scotland to record reasons given by a person for wishing to be provided with assistance, where they are known, recognising that a person is not forced to provide such reasons and may prefer not to do so.
Given the comprehensive extent of the review and reporting provisions that are contained in the bill, including requirements to report on any complications and adverse effects, I do not see the need for Mr Doris’s amendments 278 and 285. However, I am not opposed in principle and, although I am not persuaded, I am prepared to accept them if Parliament takes another view.
Similarly, I question whether Jackie Baillie’s amendment 280 is necessary. Any terminally ill adults aged 18 who request assistance under the bill would be captured by the bill’s existing record-keeping review and reporting provisions. Those under 18 are not eligible for assistance and the likelihood of anyone under 18 seeking assistance is extremely remote. I think that it would be very difficult for such data to be collected in any meaningful way, so I am not persuaded on amendment 280, although, again, I am prepared to accept it if Parliament takes a different view.
Amendment 115, from Sue Webber, would mandate that Public Health Scotland includes in its reporting information on potential complications, adverse reactions and unintended effects. Again, I do not consider the amendment necessary, given the other provisions in the bill that would ensure that such matters are appropriately recorded and reported on. The amendment would simply duplicate and confuse the bill’s existing provisions.
Bob Doris’s amendments 281, 282, 283 and 286 would add to the information that Public Health Scotland must report to ministers. Amendment 281, I believe, would be captured by existing provision of section 24(2)(b) and is not necessary. Amendments 282 and 283 would add reporting requirements relating to the period of reflection and time between statements being made under section 8 and a person’s death. Information on the number of times the period of reflection is shortened is captured on the statement forms, but I have no issue with that being set out in section 24 as well. Amendment 286 relates to reporting on the numbers of patients who are assessed as having been provided or not provided with palliative care, which I consider to be reasonable, and I support those amendments.
Amendment 284, from Emma Roddick, would, in my view, add further reporting requirements on Public Health Scotland, which risks duplicating the annual reporting and five-year review processes in an overly prescriptive way. I am not persuaded that such amendments would be helpful but, again, I am content to accept it if Parliament takes a different view.
Miles Briggs’s amendment 288, which I support, would add reporting requirements around the availability of health and social care services to patients making a first declaration. However, I do not support Stuart McMillan’s amendment 289, as it duplicates and cuts across the annual reporting provisions that are already set out in the bill.
I am also not persuaded of Stephen Kerr’s amendment 291, which similarly risks duplicating and confusing the existing reporting and review requirements. The bill would already require the reporting of information, including laying each annual report before Parliament, and would also provide for a full review after five years of operation, which must include reporting on the effect of operation of the act, including the Government’s response to any concerns.
I also consider Stuart McMillan’s amendment 290 to be unnecessary and perhaps overly burdensome in terms of what would be asked of Public Health Scotland. It is not at all clear how, for example, Public Health Scotland would be expected to verify information that is provided to it under the terms of the act, so I am not persuaded by amendment 290.
Likewise, I do not consider Sue Webber’s amendment 116 to be necessary or that it would aid the reporting and review processes. As I have said, the bill would require annual reports to be produced. It would also provide for a comprehensive review to take place after five years, which would allow a suitable period of time for assistance to be lawfully available so that trends in meaningful data and experience could be considered, to inform any future decisions.
13:15
I turn to Murdo Fraser’s amendments. I do not support amendments 294 and 295, which relate to the impact of the bill on suicide prevention services. As I have said repeatedly and say again, assisted dying must not be conflated with suicide. I also do not believe that amendment 296 is necessary, given the bill’s existing provisions on the code of practice for palliative care.
I gently push back on Liam McArthur’s conclusion on amendment 296. Throughout the process, he has been careful to say that he does not see the provision of palliative and end-of-life care services and the provision of assisted dying as an either/or. Amendment 296 would represent the fulfilment, in part, of what he has repeatedly said, because it would make consideration of the impact on palliative and end-of-life care services part of the required reporting. Does he not accept that that reflects his position on the either/or scenario that he has often spoken about?
I do not accept that, because of the other provisions in the bill as drafted and the provisions that have been added to the bill as a result of the amendments that have been agreed to during stage 3. It is legitimate to make an argument in support of an amendment, but if it ignores what is already in the bill as things stand, it misrepresents the position. The either/or with regard to palliative care and assisted dying is not reflected in the way that Mr Kerr suggests.
Stephen Kerr’s amendment 310 seeks to make the regulations in section 24 subject to the affirmative procedure. I should note that those regulations are currently subject to the negative procedure, and Mr Kerr has not sought to alter that provision. If amendment 310 was agreed to, the regulations would be subject to both procedures, which I am sure that Mr Kerr would agree would be a legal first that we should strive to avoid at this stage in the parliamentary session.
That error aside, I am content, as was the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee when it considered the bill, that the regulations in question should be subject to the negative procedure.
Amendment 280, in this last group, is my last amendment. It seeks to add to the information that Public Health Scotland would be required to report to the Scottish ministers. In addition to PHS recording the number of people who had sought assisted dying, which could be broken down into characteristics such as the number of people who had made a first declaration but decided not to go through with an assisted death, amendment 280 would require PHS to capture data on those who were too young—that is to say, under 18—who may have made a request.
I absolutely understand Liam McArthur’s position. He was right to say that that would apply to a small number of cases, but it is important that we understand the issue, which I come to from the perspective of someone who wants to ensure the protection of children. The collection of such data would inform the shaping of approaches to palliative care.
In general terms, I share Bob Doris’s view that the more data-collecting provisions we include in the bill, the better, because this is a complex area of policy and legislation, and we must be able to understand how the bill, if it is passed, works in practice and whether it has any unintended consequences.
With that, I draw my remarks to a close.
Before I speak to my amendments, I draw members’ attention to the fact that, in the past few minutes, we have received an email from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in Scotland, which has stated its opposition to the bill following the removal of vital protections to protect pharmacists who conscientiously oppose assisted dying.
That goes to the heart of what some of the amendments in this group are about. We should make decisions that are driven by data. My amendments 115 and 116 seek to strengthen reporting and accountability in relation to the use of approved substances under section 15(1). They would require any complications, side-effects or adverse reactions, which were experienced by persons who were provided with an approved substance, to be documented in detail. Those details should include the type and frequency of the side effects, the substance that was used and any clinical or professional recommendations that were made to address those issues.
All drugs have side effects. Last week, we heard from a palliative care doctor about how specialised the service that they offer is, how every patient is different and that drugs act differently in every patient’s circumstance. I made those points when I spoke to my amendments at stage 2, but they were cast aside by those who claim to be nurses.
We know that the cocktail of drugs that is used in assisted dying is a toxic combination that includes paralytics. We are not sure what a person who undergoes an assisted death goes through, because the paralytics act first and quickly. It is a not a Disney death, and serious side effects happen. For some people, the drugs do not work, and other people take hours to die. We heard about those people earlier this week from Ruth Maguire and Audrey Nicoll.
I find that turn of phrase to be particularly distasteful. Will Sue Webber reflect on that, and will she think about whether my mother’s death, which was legal under the current law and took two weeks in which she starved to death, was a “Disney death”?
The term did not relate to what your mother experienced. [Interruption.]
Members.
The term related to many people’s perception of what an assisted death would look like. We have heard from other members that that is not the reality. We must stop pretending that that is the reality, because it is not. Serious side effects happen. For some people, the drugs do not work, and other people can take hours to die. If we did not monitor and record those situations carefully, we would be unable to ensure that the service was as safe as it possibly could be.
As we have just heard, this is clearly an incredibly difficult subject. I may or may not be getting my point over succinctly, but emotions in the chamber are—and have been—high.
Studies from the Netherlands and the US have noted that, although complications are infrequent, they do occur, with some reports citing rates of 1.2 per cent to 7 per cent, depending on the methods—that is, whether the method is intravenous or oral. Those complications can and do cause distress and often require the administration of additional medication to complete the process. We have not yet had clarity in the debate about what would happen if the drugs did not work.
Amendment 116 would also impose a statutory duty on the Scottish ministers to ensure that all recommendations were acted on
“within 6 months of receiving a report”,
and to publish a statement describing the measures that have been taken. The purpose of the amendment is to improve patient safety, enhance transparency and ensure that lessons from adverse outcomes are systemically applied to prevent reoccurrence.
Colleagues, this is a flawed bill. We can tinker around the edges and try to make it safe, but it is fundamentally flawed. Within the powers that this Parliament has, we are unable to pass a safe bill, and we should therefore not pass this bill. We cannot legislate for the drugs that would be used, for the training of healthcare professionals or for what would happen if the drugs did not work.
Colleagues will know that, in general, I am a big fan of data. It is important that, if the bill becomes law, we collect the right data.
Amendment 287 would require reporting under the act to include analysis of trends, patient safety risks and safeguarding concerns. There are international comparisons, which I have heard both sides of the debate—for and against the bill—pick apart and hold up as examples. We do not know who would access assisted dying in Scotland, how that would look for them or what impacts it would have. I expect that the picture would be different even in the Highlands and Islands compared with Glasgow. In the context of an island nation with pockets of deprivation, depopulation and even a lack of vitamin D, we do not know with certainty what impact protected characteristics would have on our population and the way in which it would seek to exercise rights under the bill if it is passed.
Undoubtedly, without data collection on equalities trends, there would be compelling anecdotal evidence on both sides to claim that there was no equalities impact or that there were extreme equalities impacts.
Amendment 287 would let us keep an eye on what was actually happening here, not on what we might think or claim or guess was happening and not on what was happening in only the best or worst cases, but on trends and biases over time. We would need to know whether groups with particular protected characteristics were using assisted dying more or less than expected in comparison with others. We have a duty to dig deeper into any trends and, to do so, we would have to know what those trends were.
UN experts have warned that disabled people and older people, especially older disabled people, might feel subtly pressured to end their lives prematurely because of the lack of appropriate services and support. That seems inevitable to me and I am deeply concerned about the inherent risk of ableism being promoted through the use of assisted dying, which is why I cannot support the bill. However, we know that those inequalities span more than disability.
If assisted dying were offered in Scotland, I would also want to know whether poorer people, women, carers and racialised minorities were using it more or less than others. I would want to know whether the known risks to those groups in healthcare generally, the difficulties that they face in accessing support services and the higher prevalence of disability, degenerative conditions, poverty and sexually transmitted diseases were having an impact on why and when assisted dying was used. What we did with that data would be up to us, but I hope that the Parliament can agree that we should at least collect it.
Amendment 284 would similarly require the collection of data on safeguarding concerns and ensure that, if the act worked as it should and resulted in referrals to adult protection, social work, police or other safeguarding authorities, the information on those referrals could be taken into account when any policy changes or adaptations were made to the legislation and how it operated in future.
Amendment 284 would also require a summary of the outcomes of those safeguarding investigations. Concerns would undoubtedly be raised that amounted to nothing, with no risk to the patient found. That would be great and would show that the system was working as it should. I would, however, expect those who are involved in delivering assisted dying to be cautious, to instigate investigations when there were slight concerns, and to allow those investigations to determine whether or not the concerns were founded. It would be important to collect these data so that we could see that the overall picture was as expected and hoped for by everybody who has spoken to safeguarding in these debates, regardless of their position on the bill itself. My amendments would ensure that we captured outcomes, too, and I hope that everybody would be reassured to know that people who were in a position to spot issues erred on the side of caution.
Audrey Nicoll’s amendments in the group are also important as they seek to ensure transparency. The group is essential. We must be able to accurately review and reflect on the operation of the legislation if it becomes law.
The intent of Bob Doris’s amendments is also important. I heard Elena Whitham’s arguments about the SIMD. However, knowing how unhelpful the SIMD can be in describing rural and island poverty, and knowing that I live in the highest-ranked SIMD area in the Highlands, I am not sure that that general data set is helpful in checking the socioeconomic status of people who would make use of assisted dying. We should not leave it to guesses and hope. We would have to know who was accessing it and what issues had come up as a result.
Amendment 288 would require Public Health Scotland to report on the health and social care services that were available to individuals who made a first declaration, including pain and symptom management and psychological support. That should also include reporting on the availability of information about accessing palliative care services to persons seeking an assisted death. I believe that that complements amendment 299, which we debated yesterday in group 15.
I know how uncomfortable much of the dialogue around this debate is. We are facing uncomfortable truths about our own mortality and the mortality of the people we love. It is a matter that is dear to all of our hearts. In offering my comments today, I want to be clear that I understand the sensitivities of people who choose to support the bill, but I hope that those who support it understand how deeply felt my and other people’s opposition to the bill is.
I will take group 20 as a whole, because it asks the Parliament to reflect on something that is often overlooked when legislation of this scale is debated, which is not just how a law begins, but the outcomes of what happens after it comes into force, and how the Parliament ensures that we remain alert to its consequences.
One of our responsibilities in the Parliament is post-legislative scrutiny. As such, post-legislative scrutiny is baked in to the legislation and is a necessity for this bill, given its significance. My amendments are concerned with that responsibility.
Amendment 291 would address what happens when the reports that are required under section 24 of the bill are produced. Those reports will contain important information about how the law operates in practice. They will show trends, identify safeguarding concerns and reveal whether particular groups are affected in ways that the Parliament might never have intended. The bill currently requires those reports to be produced.
13:30
Does Stephen Kerr accept that post‑legislative scrutiny is already in place as required, that a prescription is not required and that his amendments could add additional cost?
That is the whole point. My experience, having served only five years in the Parliament, is that we are not particularly good at scrutinising legislation. By the way, Jackie Baillie and other colleagues were right on that issue, and I agree with what Emma Roddick just said, too. I will vote for all amendments that call for more data and for greater levels of post-legislative reporting, because we need to get better at doing those things. Given that we are discussing such a significant piece of legislation, I hope that Neil Gray understands why I believe that we need a particularly high level of detail and data, so that the scrutiny that we give to the bill—should it become an act—differs from the run‑of‑the‑mill scrutiny that I have witnessed over the past five years.
Amendment 291 would close that gap in scrutiny. Sometimes bills require reports, but they do not necessarily require ministers to respond to what the reports reveal. Amendment 291 would require the Scottish ministers to consider the findings carefully and to
“publish a statement setting out any action taken, proposed, or planned in response to those findings”,
which would have to be laid before the Scottish Parliament. If ministers conclude that no action is necessary, despite serious findings, they must explain that decision openly. Collecting information is not enough. The Parliament must ensure that what we learn leads to reflection and, if necessary, to change.
Amendment 296 would address another important dimension of that monitoring by requiring the reports that are produced under the act to include a review of the legislation’s impact on suicide prevention services. Suicide prevention is one of the most important responsibilities in our healthcare system, as has been mentioned today. Every day, dedicated professionals work with individuals who are experiencing despair, isolation and the overwhelming belief that life has become too difficult to continue. If assisted dying becomes part of the healthcare landscape in Scotland, it will inevitably alter the context in which those services operate. That change might be subtle at first, but if pressures begin to emerge, attitudes shift or unintended consequences appear, the Parliament should know. Amendment 296 would ensure that we do.
Amendment 310 would address a related but equally important question: how the Parliament scrutinises the regulations that govern the reporting and monitoring framework. Under the bill as drafted, the regulations would be subject to the negative procedure. My amendment would instead require the affirmative procedure, meaning that they would not come into force without the Parliament’s explicit approval—a reasonable safeguard. If this bill passes and affects how life may end in Scotland, the systems for its operation—systems that we oversee and monitor—should not be changed quietly or inadvertently. They should be subject to full parliamentary scrutiny, and we have already rehearsed the arguments for that in the discussion on previous groups. I think that that case has been largely accepted by most members.
As I started out by saying, members across the chamber will approach the legislation from different perspectives, but I have always been clear in my view, and other members have been clear in their views, which I respect. However, regardless of where we stand in relation to the principle of assisted dying, surely we can agree that, if Parliament takes a step of this magnitude, we must watch carefully what follows.
I have been listening intently to Mr Kerr, and I have read his amendments. Amendment 296 would ask the Scottish Government to identify
“any shortfalls in funding, staffing, or other resources for these services”
in relation to palliative care. It would also require a statement from Scottish ministers about
“additional funding, recruitment, training, or other resources to ensure no reduction in palliative and end of life care”
services.
That is all very noble, and I have some sympathy with it, but I have a slight concern. Throughout the debate, I have tried to say that the provision of palliative and end-of-life care services stands on its own and has to be independently funded—end of story—irrespective of assisted dying. Your amendment, Mr Kerr, potentially conflates the two.
Always speak through the chair.
I am not sure that I followed the last point—I am willing to give way to Bob Doris if he wants to expand on his last point about the conflation of the two issues.
I am trying to safeguard the funding and the level of service, and—to be frank—secure the equality that should exist across Scotland with regard to access to such care. We have heard about that repeatedly today, as we have over the previous three days of consideration of amendments. That equality of access does not exist.
I am willing to give way to the member again.
I will be brief. Proposed new paragraph (d) that would be inserted by amendment 296 talks about “additional funding” where there are “shortfalls” in palliative care provision. As a backbench MSP in the party of Government, I say that there are shortfalls in palliative care provision just now. Amendment 296 suggests—if I have read it correctly—that, irrespective of the legislation, we would be tying increasing palliative care funding directly to the provision of assisted dying. That presents a bit of an issue.
I am glad that Bob Doris has expanded on his intervention. That is absolutely not the case with my amendment—it is quite the opposite. Again, I lean heavily on what Liam McArthur, as the member in charge of the bill, has said repeatedly about his view as a proponent of the bill: that the assisted dying measures that he is proposing, and palliative and end-of-life care services, go together—it is not an either/or.
That being the case, provision of those services—which Bob Doris and I both feel very strongly about; I pay tribute to the work that he has done in this area over many years—is the reason why amendment 296 is so important. Issues of palliative care and end-of-life services need to stay pre-eminent in the Parliament’s consideration. That has been at the root of a number of interventions that I have made over the past few days. I hope that Bob Doris is satisfied that amendment 296 is not what he thinks it is, and that he accepts my explanation.
The bottom line is that if Scotland—
Will the member give way?
I give way to Christine Grahame.
I reiterate what I said earlier, and what the member in charge has said. For me, it is certainly not an either/or, and I fully hope that the bill makes members in the current session of Parliament, and in the next session and any subsequent session, really look at the provision of palliative care, because it has been a bit of a neglected area.
What concerns me is that we can deal with the matter outwith legislation. It is a matter for policy and financial decisions by successive Governments as to how we address the issue of the increasing need for palliative care, not simply in the end-of-life context but in general. That includes babies and children and adolescents onwards. We should really look at how we provide that care across the board, and we should not have left so much of it to the charitable sector.
I am grateful for that intervention; I respect very much what Christine Grahame has said, and her long-standing advocacy for what she has just described.
Douglas Ross said earlier that the current situation with palliative care is “a national disgrace”. It is a disgrace that there is such inequality in relation to the choices that Scots face depending what part of the country they live in and their circumstances, as other members have highlighted.
In concluding my comments in support of my amendments, I want to say that if we move down this path—and I hope that we do not—we have a duty to ensure that Parliament remains informed, that ministers remain accountable and that emerging risks are recognised before they become entrenched. I say for the last time—because this is the last time in the consideration of the amendments that I will have the opportunity to address colleagues—that, in legislation dealing with matters of life and death, the vigilance of this Parliament is not optional.
It is the responsibility of this Parliament, if we take these decisions and move in this direction, to ensure that that we are vigilant and that we have continuing intense scrutiny of how all of this works out, given that so much of it is so vague. Indeed, Liam McArthur himself has accepted as much. That includes the actual means by which this will be done, the nature of the structures and the costs—there are so many areas where the response to the questions raised by colleagues has been, “Well, we don’t know how this will work.” That being the case, and given that we will be so beholden to guidance, it is critical that the responsibilities of this Parliament do not end with the passing of this bill—if that is what we are going to do—as we have done with other measures.
I ask colleagues to support amendments 291, 296 and 310.
My amendments 294 and 295 seek to build on other amendments in this group from Audrey Nicoll and others and to strengthen the annual reporting duty, which requires a review of the impact on palliative and end-of-life care services, by extending it to suicide prevention measures.
I know that this is an emotive area for colleagues; indeed, we have already discussed it in this morning’s debate. I know that there are colleagues who do not like the use of the terms “suicide” or “assisted suicide” and such language being used in reference to the bill. However, I just want to quote three things to them.
First, Inclusion Scotland, which represents disabled people, has been clear in its view that the correct language in relation to the bill is assisted suicide, because that is the way in which its members, who represent the disabled community in Scotland, see it.
Secondly, our late colleague Jim Wallace, the former Deputy First Minister, said in an interview in 2022 that the term “assisted dying” was misleading and that
“what is actually being proposed is assisted suicide.”
Of course, Lord Wallace was Liam McArthur’s predecessor as the Liberal Democrat MSP for Orkney.
Perhaps most powerfully in this context, I want to quote the International Association for Suicide Prevention. The international experts in this field have said that there is
“overlap and equivalence between … suicide … and assisted suicide.”
In fact, I will quote directly from the statement that it made on 1 December 2025. It said:
“We must ensure that all persons considering ending their lives or having their lives ended by others, have access to high quality suicide prevention assessments and interventions, regardless of their problems, circumstances and status of their eligibility for”
assisted suicide. Those are not my words, but those of the International Association for Suicide Prevention.
I thank Murdo Fraser for taking my intervention, but I want to point out that the organisations and the individual that he quoted are not members of this Parliament. They are not here speaking on behalf of their constituents and on behalf of the people of Scotland. For that reason, I ask Mr Fraser to moderate and de-weaponise his language and to use the language in the bill and proposed legislation, instead of using the terms that he has used.
The member has put her view on the record. All that I have done is quote from the international experts on suicide prevention. Members can make up their own minds as to whether or not it is appropriate to quote those people in the context of this debate.
I think that Murdo Fraser should consider that, if the mental state of somebody with a terminal illness is such that they have been driven to suicidal thoughts, that will be part of the assessment of capacity that will be undertaken by two of the medical practitioners, at the very least, with referrals, perhaps, to social work and others under the guidance. This is not a blank cheque. There are measures in place to ensure mental capacity.
13:45
I do not think that Christine Grahame is disagreeing with me in that intervention. All I am saying is that, as I argued earlier, suicide prevention services should be made available to those people, and we should do far more in society to promote suicide prevention.
I will close with a comment on the wider debate about palliative care, which we have just heard about from Stephen Kerr and others. One thing that is clear in this whole debate is that there is unanimity in the chamber that we need greater support for palliative care. We simply do not have enough palliative care doctors and support services across the country. Regardless of where members stand in the debate, and regardless of whether the bill is eventually passed, I think that we would all agree that that needs to be addressed.
We have had a discussion on whether palliative care would be aided and abetted by assisted dying. A study by the Anscombe Bioethics Centre found that, between 2012 and 2019, palliative care funding increased in European countries that had assisted dying at a rate of 7.9 per cent. However, in European countries that did not have assisted dying, in the same period, the funding increased by 25 per cent. Countries with assisted dying saw increases in funding—that point has been made in the debate—but they had a much lower increase in funding that that in countries that did not have assisted dying. We should reflect on that.
Whatever we think about the bill, let us agree that, in the next session of Parliament, we will do better on palliative care.
I rise to speak against Sue Webber’s amendments 115 and 116. Professor Michael Dooley, who was commissioned by the Government in Australia to research and find the approved substance, wrote to the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee and outlined 100 per cent efficacy of the drug protocol in Australia. Pharmacy stakeholders, including the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, Community Pharmacy Scotland and others, met Professor Dooley in Glasgow. We know that the drugs can work at 100 per cent efficacy—nobody has not died from those drugs.
I am not a nurse, but I imagine that others in the chamber who are nurses would be offended by Ms Webber’s assertion when she talked about
“those who claim to be nurses.”
Over the past four days, it has been clear that a small number of MSPs have had a lot to say and a lot of MSPs have had not much to say. I include myself in that latter category of being in listening mode. Equally, a number of us will have to go away from the chamber in an hour or so and spend the next few days reflecting on what we have heard and on the state of the bill as amended. That is an incredibly important task that each and every one of us will take away, and I know that we will do it studiously in our own ways.
In this morning’s session, like others, I was struck by the testimony of Ms Whitham, who gave a powerful and personal representation of the status quo. Mr Kerr and Mr Fraser are right that the whole discussion is uncomfortable, but it should be uncomfortable. Under the status quo, death is not always pleasant, no matter how far palliative care takes it. That has become sadly apparent to us. We all want palliative care to improve, and I welcome any reporting mechanisms that will help future Governments to make policy in the area, so I will support some of the amendments in group 20.
However, the idea that people who are facing a terminal prognosis and who have months or weeks to live—as will be relevant under the bill as amended—are somehow naive about what the end might look like, I find incredibly insensitive and indeed patronising to those people. The question that some members have to grapple with—I am one of them, as I believe is Ross Greer along with a few others—is whether we want to grant people any choice about the manner of their death. At the moment, clearly, not everyone has that choice.
If there is such a thing as a “Disney death”—that is the phrase that has been used in the chamber over the past hour—that is the sort of death that I want. I would love to have a Disney death if such a thing exists. In the absence of fairytale death, what is the next best thing? Like others, I will have to wrestle with the fact that if I am willing on Tuesday evening to deny others the right to choose, I will be denying myself that right too. Equally, if I vote to give others the right to choose, I will be giving myself the right to choose. Each and every one of us will have to consider that over the next few days before we come back and vote on Tuesday. I ask members to reflect on that question, because it is the fundamental question that we have been asked to consider this weekend.
I open my contribution on the final group of amendments by asking all colleagues to be mindful of several consequential amendments that are among the raft of amendments that we will vote on at the conclusion of the amending stage. For instance, Bob Doris’s amendment 60 was contingent on amendment 37 being agreed to, and amendment 37 has been agreed to. I also referenced Bob Doris’s amendment 61 in my intervention on Mr McArthur. Amendment 23 inserted “and palliative care” after “appropriate social care” in section 6(2)(aa), but amendment 61 does not account for that addition. Although relatively minor, it is a technical issue that colleagues should be aware of as we conclude our voting today.
Amendment 63 would require Public Health Scotland’s report to include information about the number of persons who have completed training under the legislation. As I have outlined, the training provisions in the bill may raise issues of legislative competence and are therefore recommended for removal, with any necessary provision being made, instead, through an order under section 104 of the Scotland Act 1998.
Amendment 64 would add to the list of characteristics by which information in Public Health Scotland’s report is to be broken down. From a deliverability perspective, it is very prescriptive about the data that is to be collected and analysed. Setting those requirements out in primary legislation would tie limited resources to statutory obligations and would not allow statisticians to adapt to changing needs. Furthermore, new processes and investment would need to be included in order to support that level of data collection, development and reporting. I would make a similar comment on amendment 287.
From a delivery perspective, the requirements of amendment 116 would be resource intensive, particularly given the reporting requirements that are already addressed under section 26. It also seems that the amendment would require Public Health Scotland to provide clinical recommendations that are to be actioned by Scottish ministers. That appears to go beyond the organisation’s usual remit. Furthermore, it does not allow for Scottish ministers, in reviewing those recommendations, to make a final decision on whether they should be actioned based on the report or any other relevant information.
Amendment 275 would add significantly to the information that is to be provided by Scottish ministers under section 23A. It appears to be resource intensive and could potentially impact on the clarity and accessibility of the information that is to be provided. Amendment 276, which is also to do with the information that is to be provided under section 23A, would be similarly resource intensive. In addition, from a technical perspective, amendment 276 is very wide ranging and lacks clarity.
The Scottish Government’s view is that amendment 277 would be resource intensive and that, in establishing new processes and requiring the provision of an annual report setting out whether requirements have been met with regard to the duty to provide information, it would incur significant costs. By diverting limited resources to the reporting and monitoring mechanism, the amendment is also likely to have an impact on the ability to provide comprehensive information.
Amendment 278 would create a requirement for periodic detailed reviews to take place. Given the small numbers of people who are expected to undergo an assisted death in the early years, it might be difficult to balance the need for those reviews with the privacy of the individuals involved. Legal issues could also arise if the publication of a detailed assessment of a sample of cases were to result in the disclosure of private, personal data.
On amendment 279, the Scottish Government is concerned that the removal of the phrase
“in so far as known to Public Health Scotland”
from section 24(2) would risk Public Health Scotland failing in its statutory duty, should such information not be obtainable.
On a similar point to one I made earlier, it is not the collection of data that we should be worried about. We can collect as much data as possible to be potentially deployed in the future. If we do not reach the threshold that the cabinet secretary indicates in relation to retaining anonymity, we will just not use that data, but to not collect the data is the wrong way to go.
Mr Whittle has made his case and I have set out the Government’s perspective. It is for colleagues to decide. I have no further comment on Mr Whittle’s intervention. He makes a perfect reasonable argument.
Amendment 290 would impose requirements on Public Health Scotland in relation to obtaining information. From a legal perspective, it is not clear what remit Public Health Scotland would have that would require such information to be provided. I note that section 25 already provides for Scottish ministers to make provision by way of regulations about the provision of information to Public Health Scotland. Amendment 290 also provides that, where information that is required by section 24(2) cannot be obtained, the report must specify the information that is missing, explain the reasons why it cannot be obtained and set out the steps taken to obtain it. Although that goes some way towards addressing the concerns that I just raised in relation to amendment 279, it does so in a way that would put a further burden on Public Health Scotland’s resources.
The Scottish Government’s view on amendment 284 is that it would place additional data collection and reporting requirements on Public Health Scotland and other bodies in relation to safeguarding concerns, referrals and outcomes. That would require careful alignment with existing adult protection processes, information sharing arrangements and data handling requirements, including distinctions between substantiated and unsubstantiated concerns.
Amendment 288 would require the report submitted by Public Health Scotland to include an assessment of the availability, quality and distribution of health and social care services to persons who made a first declaration. Public Health Scotland does not currently collect data on the availability, quality and distribution of health and social care services in the manner requested. As such, new processes and investment would need to be included to support that level of data collection, development and reporting. There might also be a need for duties to be placed on persons holding such information—such as health boards—to provide it to Public Health Scotland. From a legal perspective, there might be a lack of clarity as to the meaning of “quality and distribution of health and social care services”.
Amendments 289, 291 and 295 would have significant cost and resource implications. On amendment 296, I refer colleagues to my comments on amendments 298 and 299 in the previous group regarding the difficulties of collating the required data on palliative care.
The Scottish Government has no comments on the remaining amendments in this group, other than the technical points that are to be found in the commentary.
I call Audrey Nicoll to wind up and to press or withdraw amendment 275.
In opening the debate on this group of amendments, I described them as “straightforward.” However, that might have been to unintentionally understate the crucial importance of data and reporting, given that we know that, where assisted dying is legalised, reporting provisions have sometimes, sadly, served as mechanisms for either widening eligibility and relaxing safeguards or not taking corrective action when major issues are flagged. It is crucial that relevant and accurate information is captured, so that vulnerable individuals who could be harmed by assisted dying legislation—those with physical and learning disabilities, people with eating disorders, victims of domestic abuse, those in poverty and many others—remain protected by robust safeguards and so that the operation of the legislation does not drift over time.
Jackie Baillie’s amendment 280 would require the number of persons aged 18 or under who requested assistance to end their lives under this regime to be recorded. I welcome this amendment, which would increase accountability. We know that, shockingly, there have been successful efforts in some jurisdictions to broaden access to assisted dying to that age group. In Canada, a 2023 parliamentary committee review of Canada’s assisted dying legislation recommended the expansion of assisted dying to children, although I note that the recommendation has not yet been advanced. We know that public support in Scotland falls quite significantly when people consider the fact that, in the Netherlands and Belgium, children of any age may, in certain circumstances, be eligible for assisted dying. That tells me that the public view the risk of that becoming a provision in Scotland as being just too high.
I note Liam McArthur’s clarification on amendment 57. Although the amendment seems innocuous, I am worried about the unintended ramifications, given that it would replicate the type of recording that is used in Australia, which has subsequently been used by review boards and campaigners to argue for widening access.
14:00
I want to take Audrey Nicoll back to her earlier comment. As I have acknowledged, no two assisted dying laws anywhere in the world are exactly the same. As we have been discussing this morning and this afternoon, we must ensure how the legislation, if passed, will work in practice here. However, as the Health and Sport Committee in the House of Commons concluded after a 14-month inquiry, we know that there is no example of a terminal illness mental capacity model of assisted dying that has expanded its eligibility criteria. That dates back to Oregon in the late 1990s. Yes, there are jurisdictions that have models of assisted dying that are more expansive—Audrey Nicoll mentioned Canada and the Benelux countries—but there is no example of any of them amending their criteria to make eligibility narrower or more restrictive.
As I said, I want to reinforce the fact that there is no example of a jurisdiction with a terminal illness mental capacity model of assisted dying that has expanded its eligibility criteria over the years.
I very much note and accept the member’s point about different models. To draw on his comments, perhaps it is the case that different models have different strengths and weaknesses.
My amendments 275 to 277 and the amendments in the names of Bob Doris, Emma Roddick, Miles Briggs, Sue Webber and Murdo Fraser all attempt to bolster reporting and increase accountability. I consider that they are proportionate and that they will strengthen and complement reporting. However, I am also mindful of the comments that have been made about overlap and duplication.
That brings me on to issues that have been flagged in Oregon, where more than two thirds of the data have been found to be missing in reports on matters such as complications. Annual reporting has shown that, in practice, the application of the terminal illness threshold has expanded well beyond a normal understanding. Despite that being clear in annual reporting, issues have not been rectified. I doubt that that was the original intent of lawmakers. In fact, last year, in Washington state, they decided that, due to budget restrictions, they would drop annual reporting on their operation of assisted dying altogether. The evidence from abroad flags for us the issue that, even with the best reporting, incrementalist expansion and a lack of corrective action remain a risk. I draw members’ attention to amendments 289, 296 and 116, in the names of Stuart McMillan, Stephen Kerr and Sue Webber, which attempt to address the issue.
I, too, commend the Scottish Government’s suicide prevention strategy, which is world leading, as Kevin Stewart highlighted earlier. I had the privilege of supporting the development of that strategy in its fairly early format—and that was certainly not yesterday. The strategy is essential when it comes to issues such as the vulnerability of terminally ill people who are considering ending their own lives. We know that, with proper support, the desire to die diminishes.
Like Jamie Greene, I have, for a change, been mostly silent in the chamber. Does the member agree that there are currently no safeguards when a dying person attempts to take their own life or when they travel overseas for an assisted death? Under the current law, vulnerable folk can choose to starve themselves to death by voluntarily stopping eating and drinking, and many do. That is legal and doctors are required to support them in that. Can the member explain why that is acceptable but the safeguarded option that the bill sets out is not?
I do not consider that to be acceptable whatsoever. The point that I am trying to make is that we want to ensure that the bill includes the most robust safeguards. My contention is that clear, accurate and comprehensive reporting would be a significant part of that provision.
Amendment 295, in the name of Murdo Fraser, and my amendment 275 would better ensure that suicide prevention support for those who are vulnerable is available to people who are considering taking their own lives. Having reviews would mean that the Government would be better equipped to take corrective measures when issues arose, if the bill was passed. Safeguarding must be at the heart of any legislation that relates to the use of lethal drugs.
I will pick up on a couple of the points that were made during members’ contributions. Returning to amendment 64, I completely agree with the points that Bob Doris made about the importance of having qualitative data rather than just numbers. That is worth drawing out in the debate, although I acknowledge the points that have been made about the difficulty and the practicalities that might be involved in collecting the data that is set out in amendment 64. I am also drawn to Bob Doris’s comments about amendment 296, which I will certainly reflect on.
In closing, although I urge members to support the amendments in this group, I must warn that they can go only so far in pushing back against the incrementalism that could arise if we chose to endorse people taking their lives by voting to pass the bill.
I press amendment 275.
The question is, that amendment 275, in the name of Audrey Nicoll, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
Members: No.
There will be a division.
The vote is closed.
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. My app is still counting down, so I am unsure whether my vote has registered. I would have voted no.
Could you repeat that, Ms Dunbar?
After the session resumed, I had difficulty reconnecting. When my app connected, I voted no and I thought that I had one second to spare, but my app said that I still had 15 seconds to spare. I want to double check that my vote has gone through.
Your vote has been recorded.
Thank you.

Amendment 276 disagreed to.
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I have had indications from members who are online that, pursuant to the error that may or may not have occurred with the first vote, there was a misunderstanding that that vote was open longer than people who were listening in heard, because it was one minute as it was the first vote. It would be helpful to clarify the period of time that people have to vote for the people who are online.
Thank you, Mr Whitfield. For clarity, all the remaining votes will be 30-second divisions.
Amendment 277 moved—[Audrey Nicoll].

As is usual when the Parliament has been unable to reach a decision, I am obliged to exercising a casting vote. The established convention is that I vote in favour of the status quo, because the chair is required to act impartially. Therefore, I cast my vote against amendment 284.
Amendment 284 disagreed to.
Amendment 285 moved—[Bob Doris].
The question is, that amendment 285 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

I call Daniel Johnson to move or not move amendment 292.
Mr Johnson, perhaps you are on mute.
I can see that Mr Johnson is saying “not moved”, but we cannot hear him. Bear with us for a moment, Mr Johnson. We will see if we can change things from this end.
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. Is it the case that if it is not moved, it is not moved, regardless of how it is not moved?
That is very helpful. [Laughter.] However, it would be good if we could hear Mr Johnson, so let us bear with him for a moment, because I would like to be entirely clear.
14:45
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I just wanted to say that this happened to me when I was working from home the other day. The others in the group of members who were online could hear me, but what I was saying was not being put out to the chamber. This is, I think, the third or fourth time that this has happened to people. I asked at that time that the issue be looked into, because I did not think that I was at fault—I still do not think that I was at fault. I think that it is another example of a glitch in the system, and it is too important just to let it stand.
Thank you, Ms Adamson. I will certainly continue to look into the matter. [Applause.] I have to confess that, because I was looking the other way, I did not see what Mr Johnson did. [Interruption.] Oh, I see—thank you for holding up that sign, Mr Johnson. We are now wholly content that Mr Johnson’s amendment is not moved.
Amendment 292 not moved.

Amendment 307 disagreed to.
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I am conscious that most of the amendments that remain are in some ways consequential on amendments that have already been taken. The one that was just moved—I appreciate that it was not moved by the member who lodged it—was consequential on an previous amendment that was not agreed to. I seek your guidance on whether MSPs have an obligation to ensure that we are making good law by keeping tabs on whether their amendments are consequential on amendments that were not agreed to.
That is a matter for members. The amendments have to be called and disposed of.
Amendment 67 moved—[Bob Doris]—and agreed to.
Amendment 68 moved—[Liam McArthur]—and agreed to.
Amendment 126 moved—[Neil Gray]—and agreed to.
Amendment 69 moved—[Jackie Baillie]—and agreed to.
Amendment 127 moved—[Neil Gray]—and agreed to.
Amendment 21 moved—[Daniel Johnson].
The question is, that amendment 21 be agreed to. Are we agreed?

The result of the division is: For 85, Against 29, Abstentions 4.
Amendment 85 agreed to.
We have had detailed consideration of amendments, and members have noted the manner and spirit in which our proceedings have been conducted. That ends our consideration of stage 3 amendments.
As members will be aware, I am required under standing orders to decide whether, in my view, any provision of a bill relates to a protected subject matter—that is, whether it modifies the electoral system and franchise for Scottish parliamentary elections. In my view, no provision of the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill relates to a protected subject matter. Therefore, the bill does not require a supermajority to be passed at stage 3.
