Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have estimated the cost to the NHS of implementing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill impact assessment considered the impacts of the bill at the end of Committee Stage in the House of Commons and, where possible, provided indicative cost ranges to the National Health Service for illustrative purposes.

If the will of Parliament is to pass the bill, detailed work on a delivery model and its cost implications would need to be developed.
