This is an outrageous, grotesque lie. I’m a doctor and I am beyond alarmed at reckless disregard for essential safeguards this committee has demonstrated. This Bill needs to be the first and the last recipient of assisted dying in the UK.

People are often surprised to learn that weight can affect their risk of liver disease, but people who are overweight, obese or have type 2 diabetes are at the most risk of developing #MASLD (formerly known as #NAFLD) because it happens when fat begins to build up in the liver.

@michaelkbrodie this is an absolute mess. We trained as doctors - but are being forced to ‘retrain’ as accountants/pension experts. This is distraction from what we are needed to do - get waiting lists down. Frustrated and not happy (understatement).
