They want Starmer’s government to cut NHS waiting lists instead, poll finds
Daily Mail September 10 2025
Assisted dying is not a priority for the public, who want the government to cut NHS waiting lists instead, according to a new poll ahead of a crucial vote on the Bill.
Just one in eight people think the Government should prioritise legalising assisted dying compared to 70 per cent who want to see waiting times slashed, the survey of 2,090 Britons found.
Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill comes [came ed.] before the Lords for its first debate among peers on Friday after MPs backed legalisation in an historic vote in June.
The first Lords vote on the Bill is expected to take place on the following Friday, September 19, before Peers will be given the chance to put forward changes, with a final vote to come later.
