Third of public back assisted dying law only with more palliative funding – poll

A third of people said their support for legalising assisted dying is reliant on better funding for end-of-life care (Alamy/PA) -

Six in 10 people support the return of the assisted dying Bill to Parliament, but a third of the public feel the law should only be changed if there is more funding for end-of-life care alongside it, according to new polling.

Support for assisted dying being legalised has remained relatively stable since the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill was first introduced to Parliament in late 2024, the Ipsos polling for the Press Association found.
