By Alexandra Rogers, political reporterHealth Secretary Wes Streeting has ordered his department to carry out a review of the costs of potentially changing the law to legalise assisted dying.Mr Streeting, who intends to vote against a landmark bill on the issue, has warned that a new assisted dying law could come at the expense of other NHS services if it is implemented.It comes as MPs weigh up whether to vote for a change in the law when given the opportunity to do so later this month.
There has been much debate about the bill since its details were published on Monday evening, including that the medicine that will end a patient's life will need to be self-administered and that people must be terminally ill and expected to die within six months.
