Assisted dying in Jersey: submission to consultation

The consultation document states that “the purpose of this consultation is not to consider whether assisted dying should be permitted in Jersey – as the Assembly have already determined, in principle, that it should be permitted – but instead to understand peoples’ response to how an assisted dying service should work.” (s1.8, p7)

CMF is concerned that, from the outset, this consultation report assumes the residents and States Assembly of Jersey are still happy with the ‘in principle’ decision taken in November 2021 and are ready to consult over the proposals for its implementation.
