WQ.209/2024

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

BY DEPUTY C.D . CURTIS OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 28th MAY 2024

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th JUNE 2024

Question

“Will the Minister advise whether it is anticipated there will be any reduction in the timescale for the implementation of the Assisted Dying Service, considering the complexity of Route 2 will no longer be part of the law-drafting instructions and policy?”

Answer

The complexity of the law drafting process is reduced in a small part by the removal of Route 2, however it is too early to say whether this could result in bringing forward the law in a shorter timeframe.
