Critics warn assisted dying law safeguards ‘are collapsing’ after Labour architect says High Court should NOT have to sign off cases

Critics of Assisted Dying were the alarm today, while the Labor Member of Parliament was accused behind the plans of the drainage of the guarantees.

While the legislation starts to control rule, Kim Leadbeater has supported Replacing the need for judges of the Supreme Court to approve things.

She brings changes to a so-called 'Judge Plus' system, according to warnings that courts would be flooded.

Mrs. Leadbeater insisted that the revision can 'strengthen' the law – but opponents said the protection was promised when the commons approved the measures in principle 'collapsed'.

Among the changes, psychiatrists and social workers would be involved in approving assisted dying applications.

A group of 23 MPs takes detailed investigation of the proposed legislation, whereby the process is expected to last.

As it looks now, the bill could see terminally ill adults in England and Wales with less than six months to live legally, allowed to end their lives, subject to approval by two doctors and a judge of the Supreme Court .

Mrs Leadbeater had said that the approval element of the High Court made its legislation the strictest in the world.

She has now proposed a voluntary assisted dying commission, which she said by the judge, that she said would give a greater role to experts, including psychiatrists and social workers, in supervision of applications.

The committee would be led by a judge of the Supreme Court or a senior former judge and received all applications and reports from two independent doctors, who would then be referred to a panel with three members chaired by what was described as a senior legal figure.

Mrs Leadbeater said that the panel would be 'completely independent' and should be satisfied with the decision of the dying person was 'voluntary and not the result of pressure or coercion, and that the person had the capacity to make that decision'.

The fears of people who feel forced to be an assisted death are before, during and since the debate on a new law.

Under the expert proof of the committee in January, Mencap Mencap warned of learning disabilities for the 'extremely risky and dangerous moment' a first conversation about the option of assisted dying.

Dan Scorer, head of policy and public affairs in the charity, said there are concerns that it could be 'very suggestive and people in a course that they do not do, they may not want to go down' and that Mercap believes that the first conversations should do must be 'incredibly well supported and structured' with a lawyer present.

Mrs. Leadbeater has already shared her proposal that doctors would be obliged to postpone a series of other available options for a patient if they discuss assisted dying.

About the last proposed changes, she said: 'Many of those who have given the committee, either personally or in writing, have recommended an improved role for professionals such as psychiatrists and social workers.

“I agree that their expertise to assess that a person is able to free up a voluntary decision from coercion or pressure, in addition to the necessary legal checks, will make the system even more robust.”

Mrs. Leadbeater said that she was also aware of the Chief Medical Officer of England, the proof of professor Sir Chris Whitty about keeping guarantees as simple as possible.

He told MPs what is not desired is that a person with a six -month life expectancy 'is stuck in a bureaucratic bush crop'.

He added: 'We have to keep this simple. And my opinion is that the best guarantees are simple guarantees. '

Mrs Leadbeater said: 'I am convinced that we can have a law that is workable in practice and enables people to decide for themselves what they want to end if their lives end and also offer robust guarantees.

“We have the duty to give the small minority of terminally ill adults who can choose an assisted death, the autonomy, dignity and choice they want.”

Mrs. Leadbeater said that the two independent doctors would be obliged to submit reports to the panel about each person who registers with the committee for permission to die.

The panel would then decide whether to do further research, including hearing the dying person, the doctors or someone else.

Mrs. Leadbeater said that the committee would report every year on the number and nature of all referred applications and whether they have been approved or rejected

However, Labor -Member Diane Abbott posted on X and said: 'Deposit safety for the assisted dying bill. Haasted, poorly thought out legislation. Must be voted. '

Tory Frontbencher Danny Kruger said: 'Approval by the Supreme Court – the most important security used to sell the assisted suicide account to MPs – has been dropped.

'Instead, we have a panel, excluding a judge, from people who are committed to the trial, being private without hearing arguments from the other side. A shame '

Liberal -Democrat Parliament member Tim Farron posted on X: 'Many members of parliament voted for the bill on the 2nd lecture in the expectation that stronger guarantees would be added at the committee's stage … and yet we now see that even the weak guarantees They existed are dropped. '

No date has yet been given to return to the commons for further debate by all MPs in Report -phase, but it is probably by the end of April.

The bill will be confronted with further research and voting in the commons and gentlemen, which means that every change in the law would only be agreed later this year.

After that it would probably take at least two years before there was an assisted dying service.
