Wes Streeting will vote against the assisted dying bill & is getting his department to assess the costs of provision.... but he then said that looking at the money saved in the NHS be assisted dying was a 'slippery slope', and:

'I would hate for people to opt for assisted dying because they think they’re saving someone somewhere money, whether that’s relatives or the NHS'....

The problem with the last statement it sort of sounds like a threat, not a dismissal?
