Proposed four-year wait for assisted dying service ‘too long,’ say campaigners

Campaigners say waiting for four years for the proposed service is a ‘retrograde step’ - (PA)

Campaigners have criticised a move to double the length of time before an assisted dying service would be functioning if a new law is agreed in England and Wales.

The proposed change has been branded a “retrograde step” and “outrageous” by two terminally ill supporters of legalising assisted dying.
