Hi everyone,
,
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on this very sensitive topic.
We believe that people with Parkinson’s, their carers and families should be able to exercise their right to access effective health and social care services at every stage of the condition, including at the end of life.
This should always involve timely provision of good quality information so people know what support is available at every stage and how they can get it.
We neither support nor oppose a change in the law to allow assisted suicide. Our position is neutral because we recognise that people with Parkinson’s have a wide range of personal beliefs on this issue.
For more information on our policy regarding end of life and assisted suicide, please visit our website, ou can also download our full policy statement via this link: (End of life and assisted suicide | Parkinson's UK.
Best wishes,
Reah
