Why does the debate on legal access to Assisted Dying always get entangled with issue of increased funding for palliative care? It is perfectly possible to be both pro-excellent palliative care AND want option of access to AD, because that describes my position.

@AerLingus very disappointed in the communication skills of your Edinburgh check in staff. How elderly passengers were being barked at was awful. Not a good look.

That's why we, along with @ACPUK, @BOPACommittee and @UKONSmember, have written to @SteveBarclay outlining the challenge and requesting to meet.
