I will speak to amendments 240, 241, 48, 66 and 69 in my name and then address others.

In the case of amendments 240 and 241, the intention is to provide regulations that specify any settings or services in which assistance must not be provided. Amendment 48 simply updates terminology by replacing the reference to “the Care Inspectorate” with “Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland”.

Amendments 66 and 69 are also technical amendments. They are about setting appropriate regulation-making powers for ministers under section 20A(1). Amendment 66 advises negative procedure; amendment 69 would require affirmative procedure.

They are all sensible amendments that update the bill. I will touch briefly on the other amendments in the group.

Fulton MacGregor’s amendments 250 and 309 talk about one service in each health board area providing assisted dying. That clearly has financial implications and I am not sure whether those have been adequately considered. Equally, Daniel Johnson’s amendments 292 and 311 talk about creating an office of the assisted dying registrar, Miles Briggs in amendment 293 wants to introduce an assisted dying review panel and Liam McArthur in amendments 72 to 74 makes provision for setting up an assisted dying service.

All four colleagues are legislating in a similar area and I question whether there would not be duplication if we were to support all those amendments. We would look quite silly if we did so. However, I leave colleagues to set out their views.

I move amendment 240.
