Streeting Says No Budget for Assisted Dying Service. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has stated that there is no budget for an assisted dying service, following a historic vote in Parliament last Friday. The legislation, which was narrowly approved, will now be reviewed by the House of Lords. Streeting, a senior opponent of the bill, explained his vote against the legislation on Facebook citing concerns over the lack of access to quality end-of-life care and financial strain on the NHS. He warned that the introduction of such a service could put additional pressure on patients and healthcare resources. While acknowledging that the law could become a reality, Streeting expressed concerns that MPs may have made the wrong decision, emphasizing that setting up the service would require significant time and funding, both of which are currently in short supply.
