Our position on Assisted Dying

The Paul Sartori Foundation provides end of life care in Pembrokeshire. We do not believe it is our role to either support or oppose a change in the law on assisted dying. Rather, our mission is to provide and promote good end of life care in Pembrokeshire.

We are closely following the Terminally Ill Adults(End of Life) Bill and should it progress, will ensure that the many complex questions and concerns are considered.

We recognise that the views of staff, volunteers and trustees will reflect the full spectrum of views on assisted dying that exist in society. We understand that people have strong opinions on this sensitive and emotive issue.

Whether or not assisted dying is introduced in the UK, the Paul Sartori Foundation believes that everyone should be able to access high quality end of life care, no matter who they are, where they are or why they are ill.

We firmly believe too, that whatever decisions are made around assisted dying, there needs to be fair funding and equitable provision of end of life care

Nobody should ever feel they have to make the choice to have an assisted death because of a real or imagined fear of not receiving the care and support they need.
