NHS will become national health and assisted suicide service, says MP

The UK government is set to allow private companies to provide assisted dying services, granting ministers broad discretion in commissioning these services, according to the Times.
The Bill grants ministers complete discretion over assisted dying services, changing the role of the NHS significantly.
The Bill contains clauses that limit civil liability and exempt deaths from coroner investigations, indicating less oversight.
The Isle of Man's parliament passed its own assisted dying legislation for terminally ill adults, which could be law by 2027, impacting UK health policy further.
