Extra Keys sitting to continue assisted dying debate

Bill will receive its third reading on 23 July

Work on the Assisted Dying Bill will continue later this month after the Speaker of the House of Keys confirmed an extra sitting will take place.

Members will meet again on 23 July after completing the clauses stage of the Bill at this week's sitting.

The bill will have its third reading at the next sitting, and if approved will progress to the Legislative Council for further consideration.

Among the changes approved this week was the addition of protection for healthcare workers who choose to provide assisted dying services.
