MPs must focus on palliative care provision, however they vote on assisted dying
Tomorrow, the country will find out whether the assisted dying for terminally ill adults bill passes its Second Reading.

Alas neither Labour UK nor Wes Streeting on here yet, but could we all agree that however MPs vote on AD next week, this is a huge opportunity for the government to announce - finally, after decades of successive governments failing dying people - proper NHS funding of palliative care?
