An MSP has said an assisted dying Bill has been “a long time coming” and many terminally ill Scots are in need of it.

Liam McArthur, Liberal Democrat MSP for Orkney, said his Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill, would allow people who are sound of mind but are terminally ill to legally end their lives.
