Faith leaders in Wales have issued a statement expressing their opposition to the Government’s proposed assisted suicide legislation and urging the Senedd to withhold legislative consent to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.
The proposed bill is scheduled to be debated, and ‘consent’ voted upon, in the Senedd on 24 February 2026.
In their statement, leaders from Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh and Hindu communities in Wales call for the promotion of excellent palliative care, including support for the hospice movement.
