There are three weeks remaining during which submissions can be made to the Scottish Parliament’s Health, Social Care and Sport Committee ‘Call for Views’ on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill.
The purpose of the call for evidence is to gather views on the Bill which will inform the Committee’s scrutiny.
The call for views and analysis:
- aims to help the Committee understand the reasons people have for either supporting or opposing the Bill
- aims to help the Committee understand how people would like to see the Bill amended
- will not establish whether more people support or oppose the Bill
The Committee will base any assessment of public opinion on published data from opinion polls. Responses to this call for evidence will not be assumed to be representative of public opinion and will not be treated as such.
There are two options for those wishing to participate in this Call for Views.
- Short survey: This is for people who wish to express general views about the Bill as a whole, including:
• whether they support or oppose it
• why they support or oppose it - Detailed call for evidence: This is for people, groups, bodies or organisations who wish to comment on specific aspects of the Bill.
The call for views will close at 11.59 pm on Friday, 16 August 2024 and no extensions will be given for late submissions.
Full details of the Call for Views process are available on the Scottish Parliament website.
