In a letter dated 1/7/2019, this charity stated: “We do not support assisted dying in any way, as we believe that providing excellent palliative care is the best way to help both the patient and the family.
“We work through our country partner charities in South East Europe and all of them hold to this belief and practice. Sadly, only a small percentage of terminally ill patients in these countries have access to palliative care and we are doing all we can to improve this situation.”
