Hospice bosses said the potential change in the law could have ‘huge implications’ for end-of-life care (Alamy/PA) -

Hospices and end-of-life care professionals will face “huge implications” and “seismic change” after the assisted dying Bill cleared the House of Commons, leading organisations have warned.

MPs voted 314 to 291 in favour of the legislation, which would allow terminally ill adults with a life expectancy of under six months to end their lives, at third reading on Friday.
