The Royal College of Psychiatrists has withdrawn its support for the assisted dying bill, dealing a blow to its supporters. The bill is set to return to the House of Commons on Friday, with plans to legalise assisted dying in Scotland also progressing. The RCP cited concerns with the bill's current form, including issues related to unmet needs, the classification of assisted suicide, the role of psychiatrists on the panel, and the increased demand on psychiatrists.
