Fertility Treatment Regulation
My Lords, I pay tribute to the noble Baroness, Lady Deech, for securing this important debate. Before I start, I will just clarify one issue: about 98% of abortion treatment is carried out in the not-for-profit sector, funded around 98% by the NHS. NHS h

I have talked before about using the term “assisted suicide”. If this becomes available, it will be an unusual event: we are not talking about hundreds of patients wanting an assisted death. I suspect that, within each local area, a list will be availabl
