End of Life Choice Bill — In Committee — Part 3 — SCENZ Group composition and membership term limits

11 September, 2019

Summary

This Supplementary Order Paper amends the End of Life Choice Bill. It creates requirements for the membership of the SCENZ Group established in clause 19. Clause 19(1) already requires the SCENZ Group to be made up of medical practitioners, and new subclauses (1A) and (1B) put in place a maximum tenure of 2 terms of 2 years per member and require that the group’s membership meets conditions of diversity and experience in palliative care.

The question was put that the amendment set out on Supplementary Order Paper 212 in the name of Chris Penk to clause 19 be agreed to.
