Wes Streeting will vote against the new Bill being considered by the British Parliament that aims to legalise assisted suicide in the United Kingdom. The decision marks an important declaration given Streeting's senior position in the Cabinet and which makes him responsible for the health of the UK's population.
The Heath Secretary’s decision marks a reversal in his stance on the issue – he previously voted to legalise assisted suicide (referred to by many as "assisted dying") in 2015 – and is the result of his concerns regarding the state of palliative care in the UK, reports the Daily Telegraph.
