flag A Welsh peer urges end-of-life care in Welsh and warns against UK law overriding Wales' health powers.

flag A Plaid Cymru peer, Baroness Smith Llanfaes, has called for assisted dying services to be available in Welsh during the UK Parliament debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, emphasizing the importance of patients being able to discuss end-of-life care in their native language. flag She raised concerns about the bill’s constitutional implications, noting that health is a devolved matter in Wales and that the Welsh Government should have a central role in deciding whether to implement such services. flag She criticized the removal of a clause requiring devolved consent, calling it deeply problematic, and questioned whether a Welsh minister who opposed assisted dying should oversee its rollout in NHS Wales.
