Up to 12 people a day could be using an assisted dying service a decade after it is introduced, and end-of-life care costs could be cut by millions, an official impact assessment has concluded.
The total number of people using the service in England and Wales is expected to rise from between 164 and 787 in the first year to between 1,042 and 4,559 in the 10th, according to the government’s estimates.
