Health, Social Care and Sport Committee

Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 12 November 2024

David Torrance

Good morning. My questions are around the Scott review and capacity decisions. Is the approach to capacity outlined in the bill, which is taken in large part from the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000, still fit for purpose in light of the recent review of the area?

Do you keep statistics on the proportion of those who seek assisted dying but have a physical impairment that would prevent them from self-administration?

Can the witnesses provide an overview of the extent to which assistance with assisted dying is allowed by the laws in Victoria and the rest of Australia, and the form that such assistance can take?

Yes. If someone has a physical impairment that means that they cannot lift the glass to their mouth themselves, is someone allowed to help?

I have one final question. The appraisal panel report noted that there might be complementary or alternative mechanisms for addressing the challenges that are set out in national parks proposals. Are there policy approaches or mechanisms that you would like to see in advance of or in addition to the designation of new national parks?

I know that consultation with local communities and groups is really important. How much consultation has been done on the proposal for a national park in Galloway with the whole range of local groups and communities, such as community councils and the NFUS?

Meeting date: 30 October 2024

David Torrance

Good morning. First, I want to put on record that I stay in the Cairngorms national park for a good part of the year.

Are there circumstances in which you would support designations of further national parks, for example, following further reviews and consultation with rural stakeholders and industry?

The committee could write to the Scottish Government to highlight the Royal College of Nursing鈥檚 report on nursing student finance and ask what consideration it has given to the report鈥檚 recommendations.
