Keir Starmer has insisted the government is prepared to deliver assisted dying legislation “in all its aspects”, pushing back against comments made by his health secretary, Wes Streeting, who claimed there was no budget to implement the new law.
Streeting, who was previously a supporter of assisted dying but switched sides last year, said better end of life care was needed to stop terminally ill people feeling as though they had no alternative but to end their own life.
